2026 conference appeal

 
Currently, we are seeking to raise $25,000 AUD to support others to attend our 2026 conference in Melbourne.
 
This will cover the costs of two international Bishops, and offer financial relief to many seeking to travel from Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and New Zealand. Please give generously today so that more brothers and sisters can be strengthened and encouraged in our fellowship in Melbourne later this year.

Archbishop Mbanda  was born in 1954. While he was born in Rwanda, he spent a large part of his childhood in Burundi as a refugee.

 

He graduated at the Kenya Highlands Bible College, in Kericho, Kenya, before returning to Burundi, where he was ordained an Anglican priest.

 

He moved to the United States in 1984, where he completed an M.A. in Missiology at the Fuller Seminary’s School of World Missions, in Pasadena, USA, an M.A. in Christian Education at Denver Seminary, USA and a PhD at Trinity International University, in Deerfield, Illinois, USA.

 

He was consecrated Bishop of the Diocese of Shyiria in March 2010. He was then elected the fourth Archbishop and Primate of the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda on 17 January 2018. His enthronement took place on 10 June 2018.

 

He is a longtime supporter of GAFCON. He is the author of the book ‘Committed to Conflict: The Destruction of the Church in Rwanda’ (1997), co-written with Steve Wamberg, about the Rwandan Genocide. He has also written an autobiography ‘From Barefoot to Bishop’ (2017).
