Goals Impact

The goal of this Jesus. All About Life (JAAL) project is to raise awareness of Jesus Christ and the relevance of his teaching in today’s modern world, by mobilizing Christian churches to re-engage with their local community through cultural, community and arts events. For the effective implementation of the JAAL campaign activities, AE Rwanda will target churches and evangelistic organisations to work with.

In 2023, this project aims to:

• Train 300 pastors, 300 young evangelists, 30 Prison Fellowship chaplains, 100 selected teachers and youth leaders on home-based and street evangelism, as well as follow up of new believers using the Jesus. All About Life materials.

• Reach 10,000 people through sports activities

• Reach 100,000 people in Kigali City, secondary and satellite cities

• Reach 50,000 students

• Evangelise 700,000 people through mass media — radio programs

The goal is to reach people living in Kigali City as well as the cities of Muhanga and Huye (Southern Province), Rusizi and Rubavu (Western Province), Rwamagana and Nyagatare (Eastern Province), Musanze in the Northern Province, and the satellite cities (Kirehe and Kayonza).

To resource the campaign, AE Rwanda will look facilitate the translation of the JAAL materials into the local language - Kinyarwanda. Materials and Bibles will be distributed to Pastors, evangelists, Sunday school teachers and facilitators so that they can use them during the JAAL activities, and thereafter.

Prayer Needs

The Jesus. All About Life (JAAL) campaign will give quiet Christians the motivation to share their faith. This campaign is intended to serve as a healing tool for Rwandans who have experienced trauma; the celebration of Easter emphasises themes of forgiveness, hope, faith, and a new chapter for a better future.

It is expected that at least 10,000 people among the beneficiaries will receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of their lives. The trained pastors, young evangelists and facilitators will use the skills to disciple the young believers and continually reach out to other community members with evangelistic messages. In addition, it is hoped that about 60,000 Christians will change their practice and perception of evangelism as an event-based activity to a lifestyle practiced by every Christian.

• Pray that the many Rwandans who are nominal Christians would experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

• Pray that the many Rwandans who suffer from the scars of the genocide and other challenges of life – like the impact of COVID – would know that God does love them and cares for them.

• Thank God that African Enterprise are burdened with helping people experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by receiving him as Lord and Saviour of their lives. Pray that their work would be blessed, and that many would come to know the eternal love of God, which does not change with circumstances.
