Be a Destiny Helper Today: Pastor Canisius Gacura (Episode # 456)

Pastor Canisius Gacura is the senior Pastor of Nyabugingo Worship Center in Kigali, Rwanda. When he first joined Dr. Karen on The Voice of Leadership, he had just published his book, “Discover Your Destiny: And Become a Destiny Helper.” He and his church have been wonderful Destiny Helpers to provide hope and healing to those recovering from the Rwandan genocide, people with disabilities, and the poor.

Since the time of his last visit, the church opened a new worship center which also houses a prayer center, Bible school, center for people with disabilities, and empowerment center for women. They are in the last necessary building phase to secure a government permit to officially open. The final phase requires $30,000 and they have a $15,000 matching grant to finish the work.

Given the current turmoil in the world with multiple wars, weather disasters, and increased violence we thought this would be a great occasion to re-broadcast this encouraging message from Pastor Gacura.
