"What a great surprise this morning. I say, Don't be deceived by your eyes. You can judge wrongly. These two women of our church came to my office this morning and told me we have a small gift for you and it is outside...So went outside, I thought it was a heavy banana or something like that.. only to find that it was a heavy heifer..very good for milk in the future. They look simple in our human eyes but I tell you they are great at heart and in the eyes of God. God bless them abundantly."

Και πάλι ομαδικές Βαπτίσεις στην Ι. Μητρόπολη της ΚΑΤΑΝΓΚΑ, και δη εις την πόλη του Κολουέζι.
Διήμερο αργίας,εθνική εορτή και όλοι οι κατηχούμενοι της πόλεως και πέριξ, μαζί με τον Ιερό Κλήρο, ο οποίος μαζί με τον Επίσκοπον ελειτούργησαν στον Ι. Ναό του αγίου Γεωργίου και κατόπιν έγιναν οι Βαπτίσεις όλων των κατηχουμένων, αφού βέβαια όλοι εξομολογήθησαν, μικροί και μεγάλοι, και έλαβαν την ευλογία να Βαπτισθούν στα αγιασμένα νερά του βαπτιστηρίου.
Οι γάμοι που υπήρχαν, όλοι εζήτησαν να γίνουν εις τις Ενορίες των και τους εδόθη η ευλογία. Τους εδόθησαν οι κατάλληλες οδηγίες για το πρώτο ξεκίνημα της χριστιανικής εν Χριστώ ζωής και επέστρεψαν στις οικίες των. Συνολικά βαφτίσθηκαν στο Κολουέζι και σε απομακρυσμένες ενορίες αυτές τις ημέρες 556 κατηχούμενοι.

NEW BIRTH: ENTERING THE KINGDOM
Early in His ministry Jesus revealed the way to enter God's eternal Kingdom. We must be "born again" (John 3:3), a birth from above brought about the water and the Spirit.
In His conversation with Nicodemus, Christ states: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God"(John 3:5). From the beginning the Church has recognized "water" to be the waters of baptism, "the Spirit" to be the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the new birth is being joined to Christ in the water of the baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit through anointing or "chrismation."
Throughout their letters the apostles remind us that the new birth is necessary for salvation. We die to sin; then buried with Christ and risen with Him, we are united to Christ and to His body, the Church. We are cleansed, justified and sanctified-all in baptism, "the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5). Without our repentance and faith, however, immersion in water would be of no effect.
Some Christians bypass baptism and stress only faith. Why is the mystery of water necessary? Because just as Christ actually died on a cross, was buried, and rose again-all through His faith and God's grace-so we must be actually immersed in the sacramental waters of baptism, made effectual through our faith and God's grace.
The basic form of baptism is simple. The person to be born again, joined to Christ, is immersed in the water three times in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19). One first-century document teaches, "If you do not have running water, use whatever is available. And if you cannot do it in cold water, use warm. But if you have neither, pour water on the head three times-in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" (The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles [The Didaché], 7: 1-3)
In the new birth, a true mystery takes place. For in the sacrament of baptism, we die, going down into the water to be mystically united to Christ in His death, and we live again, rising up out of the water in His resurrected humanity. In short, we are born again.
With the blessing of His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church of Alexandria and All Africa, on Epiphany 2018, His Eminence Innocentios Byakatonda, the Bishop of the Holy Orthodox Diocese of Burundi and Rwanda, has baptized more than 120 catechumen on Muhazi Lake, Eastern Province of Rwanda. On that day of celebration of the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ in the river Jordan by John the Baptist, 20 people of the Orthodox Community of Mount Fumbwe-Nyagasambu, in Rwamagana District, were also happy to receive the sacraments of initiation after 2 years of catechism: Baptism, Chrismation and Eucharist (Holy Communion).
The 3 initiation Sacraments are the means by which a person actually enters the Kingdom of God in the Church. Our creed states: "We confess one baptism for the remission of sins". Chrismation is the sacrament by which Jesus anoints and seals us with His Holy Spirit so that we might know, love, and serve God in the power of the Spirit. The Eucharist is the symbol of Christ's very body and blood. It reveals and communicates Jesus' full and mystical presence with us. The Eucharist is a new communion of men and women in one divine and human life.
Almost from the very beginning, Christians referred to the Church as the "One, Holy, Catholic [from the Greek καθολική, or "according to the whole"] and Apostolic Church". The Orthodox Church claims that it is today the continuation and preservation of that same Church.
The Sacrament of Baptism in the Orthodox Church is administered by immersion in the water according to the Baptism of Jesus in Jordan and in respect to the Holy Tradition. Through baptism, Orthodox Christians enter a new life of salvation through repentance, whose purpose is to share in the life of God through the work of the Holy Spirit. Christian life is a spiritual pilgrimage in which each person, through the imitation of Christ and hesychasm, cultivates the practice of unceasing prayer (often with use of the Jesus Prayer). This life occurs within the life of the church as a member of the Body of Christ.[23] It is through the fire of God's love in the action of the Holy Spirit that the Christian becomes more holy, more wholly unified with Christ, starting in this life and continuing in the next. Born in God's image, each person is called to theosis, fulfillment of the image in likeness to God. God the creator, having divinity by nature, offers each person participation in divinity by cooperatively accepting His gift of grace.
We welcome with very great happiness our sisters and brothers newly baptized in the Orthodox Church in Rwanda.

"A LOCAL ORTHODOX MISSIONARY VISITED AND HEPLED MOUNT FUMBWE-NYAGASAMBU COMMUNITY
After the request of the Orthodox Community of Mount Fumbwe/Nyagasambu, and with the kind blessing of His Eminence Innocentios Byakatonda, the Orthodox Bishop of the Diocese of Burundi and Rwanda, Reader Ieronimos HABIMANA, seminarian and catechist, has given a 3 days teaching to the New Orthodox Community of Mount Fumbwe/Nyagasambu: Chants, Hymns, Sacraments, lives of Saints, Church History, guidelines of the Divine Liturgy, answering common questions of the interested curious people about orthodox faith and practice ....and he also performed many interesting games and songs with the young people of the area who wanted him to stay in the village for ever!
The teaching ended with the Sunday Orthros/ Word Liturgy that he helped to celebrate in collaboration with Reader Timotheos Twungubumwe; the choir he trained and all the faithful. The Community expects to be inviting the priests for Divine Liturgy very soon.
Our special thanks to His Eminence Innocentios Byakatonda to have allowed this missionary to visit and assist our people.
God bless all who lend their precious efforts for the growth of our Community."
