The Minister of Youth and ICT Jean Philbert Nsengimana , also reiterated the vision of Youth in Rwanda that they are committed and ready to achieve those dreams.<\/p>\n

Rwanda Shima Imana derives its inspiration on a biblical text written in the book of Deuteronomy(8:10-18)- \u201cWhen you have eaten and are satisfied praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Rwanda Shima Imana Youth Rally has been organized by the Christian churches in Rwanda in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and ICT (MYICT) and Imbuto Foundation.<\/p>\n

Pastor Warren commended Rwanda\u2019s development and challenges the Youth that they have to work hard and achieve the dream of the country by set goals; \u201cYou are the new generation; God uses a man who never gives up, never fear failure if what you are doing is for the glory of God\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Minister Nsengimana shared the vision for Youth sector in Rwanda summarized in HAPPi Generation which is an acronym (H: Healthy, A: Attitude; Aptitude (skills, education), P: Patriotic, P: Productive and i: innovative). <\/p>\n

He noted, \u201cWe want to see a generation that turns problems into opportunities \u2026 I hope that one day in Rwanda everyone will get a dignified job towards the sustainable development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minister Nsengimana hailed Pastor Warren who agreed to be a Rwandan, added that it is in line with the launched program called Ndi Umunyarwanda which is a platform that drives the promise of the post genocide generation in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The rally \u201cDreaming great dreams\u201d, was supported by the Rwanda Purpose Driven Ministries\/P.E.A.C.E Plan- a Christian Organization and a platform of Christian Churches established in Rwanda resulting from the Friendship between President Paul Kagame and Rev. Dr Rick Warren Senior Pastor of Saddleback Church (USA, California).<\/p>\n

Rwanda Purpose Driven Ministries\/ PEACE Plan aims at promoting reconciliation among Rwandans, Equip leaders in all sectors of the Nation, Assist the Poor, Care for the sick and Educate the next generation. <\/p>\n

Through this platform, all Christian churches have launched the National Thanksgiving Festival last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
