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.

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.

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.
Renowned Rwandan gospel musician Israel Mbonyi, considered one of the top artists in the genre currently, has announced receiving an honorary award during his recent concert in Belgium. The recognition is a testament to his music's message transcending borders.
Mbonyi shared this in an interview with Inya Rwanda following his sold-out performance at the Dome Event Hall in Belgium, which attracted over 1,000 attendees. This marked his second concert tour in the European nation.
During this visit, Mbonyi also launched his latest album 'Nk'Umusirikare' (Like A Soldier) containing hit tracks like 'Nina Siri' to the Rwandan diaspora and other fans based in Belgium. At the high-profile event, the acclaimed artist behind songs such as 'Umukunzi' was honored with an award as the Most Popular East African Artist in Europe.

Speaking to media , Mbonyi expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the recognition, seeing it as a sign that his musical message has traveled far and wide, marking the start of an evangelical journey through song.
"This award means so much to me! It's a blessing, signifying that the message has reached distant places. For the Mayor himself to personally present this award is truly extraordinary," Mbonyi stated. He added, "I feel God is doing powerful works through what we are doing. I ask myself if I'm just starting to sing because the task ahead seems immense."
The artist revealed the concert was a memorable experience, as he witnessed people receiving salvation and God's hand at work. "I saw testimonies of people being healed through this concert. The city officials of Brussels even told me to feel at home here," Mbonyi recounted.
"I'm so grateful to God! We had a wonderful, joyous event where many people got saved, we prayed for the sick who were healed. I felt such joy being with my entire team," he continued. "The Mayor of Brussels, Philippe Close, welcomed us warmly, presented me with a great award as the Most Popular East African Artist in Europe, and told me from now on, I should feel at home in Belgium. It was truly amazing. I thank God. But most importantly, souls were saved and God's presence was heavily felt with the huge crowd."
After Belgium, Israel Mbonyi is preparing for two major concerts in Uganda, Kenya, South Africa and other regions.
Rwandan gospel singer and worship leader Aline Gahongayire has announced that she will be holding her first-ever concert in Belgium on October 5, 2024. The show is part of her music tour aimed at reaching out to her fan base in the European country.
This concert is an outcome of Gahongayire's recent visit to Belgium, where she supported fellow artist Israel Mbonyi during his own show on June 8, 2024.

Christina Shusho, a revered gospel artist from East Africa, has set tongues wagging in Kenya with a sneak peek of her latest track, “Zakayo.” In her soul-stirring Swahili lyrics, Shusho sings, “There was a man named Zakayo, the chief of tax collectors and a wealthy man. He sought to see what kind of person Jesus was…”
Given Shusho’s significant fan base in Kenya, the teaser sparked playful speculation. Some even cheekily wondered if the song alluded to Kenya’s President, William Ruto.
Some Kenyans humorously liken President Ruto to Zakayo—the Swahili version of Zacchaeus from biblical tales. Zacchaeus is known as a tax collector from the Bible who, out of curiosity, climbed a tree to catch sight of Jesus.
President Ruto’s fiscal policies have earned him the nickname “Zakayo” among the populace. Since taking office in August 2022, he’s introduced and hiked various taxes. This has led to a decline in his popularity, especially among Kenyans who feel he’s strayed from his pledge to prioritise the welfare of “hustlers”—the hardworking individuals facing financial challenges.

Aime Uwimana expressed gratitude for being touched at heart and honored with an award bestowed upon him by Chryso Ndasingwa, acknowledging that he is deeply moved by the kindness of others, attributing any praise directed towards him not to his own actions but to the grace of God.
These sentiments were shared during an interview Aime Uwimana had with the media after Chryso Ndasingwa commended him for his generosity in extending a helping hand to emerging artists in the realm of gospel music.
He said, "I truly believe that one of the greatest gifts is to be a blessing to others, when people think you have been a blessing to them in guiding them in this path even though I believe it's God who has done it, I feel like it's a tremendous blessing. I am thankful to God who has blessed me to be a blessing to others."
On the other hand, Aime Uwimana sees Chryso Ndasingwa as one of the artists deeply committed to advancing the gospel message, praising his dedication to learning the word of God and proclaiming it.
He remarked, "I appreciate that he has a heart for praising God, a young man who possesses many talents, and I trust that he will continue to grow in them until he reaches the fullness of God's grace. He is a good singer, a good songwriter; I pray to God to lead him to where he has planned for him."
Chryso Ndasingwa, in turn, expressed his intention to express gratitude to Aime Uwimana as one of the artists contributing to the advancement of Rwandan music and pledged to honor him when he sees fit.
He stated, "There is a bad culture of neglecting or underestimating someone's contribution, regardless of whether they are 20 years old or older, it is not right for someone, even if they have been in the industry for a long time, to overlook the essential work of appreciating people in general, we also do it."
Apart from the award he received, Chryso Ndasingwa revealed that there are other diverse projects he plans to collaborate on with Aime Uwimana.

Dubbed the Wahozeho Album Launch, Chryso Ndasingwa had the privilege of hosting the event for the first time, performing in a venue that others only dream of, but with a high attendance, including musicians, dignitaries like Miss Rwanda 2020 Naomi, and spiritual leaders like the Senior Pastor of the Evangelical Restoration Church, Apostle Ndagijimana Yoshua Masasu, among others, showing that as he had often mentioned, God had also smiled upon him.
This album by Chryso Ndasingwa features eleven songs, including some that were debuted at the concert, hence the name Wahozeho, which means 'to praise' in the album and the concert.
As evident from the support Chyrso Ndasingwa received from the Christian community attending this concert, including Asaph Music International, Papi Clever and Dorcas, Aime Uwimana, Ishimwe Josh, True Promises, and others who showed their unwavering support.
