Apostle Alice Mignonne Umunezero Kabera, the Senior Pastor of Noble Family Church and Founder of Women Foundation Ministries, made a heartwarming gesture by honoring several renowned gospel musicians for their outstanding work in spreading the Gospel through music in Rwanda.

The recognition took place on Monday, June 13, 2024, during the 5th day of the 7-day "7 Days of Worship" event held at the Ubumwe Grande Hotel in Kigali from 7 pm. While a limited audience attended in person, thousands more joined virtually via live streaming.

The event's theme, "Make It Known" from Habakkuk 3:2, invited various ministers including Rev. Dr. Antoine Rutayisire, Rev. Ruzibiza Viateur, Rev. Grace Kapswara, and acclaimed gospel artists like Simon Kabera, David Nduwimana, Alex Dusabe, Rene Patrick & Tracy, and the popular group Precious Stone.

On this particular evening, the gospel artists were honored and shared the Word, followed by a celebratory dinner. Apostle Mignonne expressed her deep appreciation for the impact these musicians have had, especially in the difficult years following the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

Among those honored was veteran artist Theo Bosebabireba, whom Apostle Mignonne commended for his repentant heart and powerful evangelistic work through music. Despite a 4-year suspension from 2018 to 2022 by ADEPR over misconduct issues, Bosebabireba persevered, ultimately receiving forgiveness and restoration.

Aime Uwimana, considered the grandfather of Rwandan gospel music, was honored for his selfless support in launching Women Foundation Ministries and nurturing many artists, including the renowned group Precious Stone. Other honorees included Steven Karasira for his 19 years in Christian media, Gaby Kamanzi for his heart to serve, Alex Dusabe for his exceptional musical impact, and Ivan Ngenzi for paving the way for artists like Josh Ishimwe in the Gakondo genre.

Legend Guy Badibanga, known for hit songs like "Shangiliyeni Bwani," and Australia-based Burundian David Nduwimana, who performs at major rugby events, were also recognized.

Apostle Mignonne highlighted two non-gospel artists, Mani Martin and Patrick Nyamitari, for the spiritual impact of their songs despite not being in the genre. The event featured powerful performances, with the honorees joining voices on popular hits like "Nta kundi kimbeshyejeho" by Aime Uwimana ft. Gaby Kamanzi, "Umuyoboro" by Alex Dusabe, and others.

Apostle Mignonne closed with a prophetic declaration: "Let it be known that Rwanda has extraordinary gospel artists, unique in their strength and abilities."

The 7 Days of Worship event aimed to celebrate the transformative power of worship and gospel music in Rwandan society, providing a platform to honor those who have dedicated their talents to spreading the Good News.
