Oh my goodness!!
I was so happy to meet Kirk Franklin!
Kirk Franklin and R.Kelly were my best
world singers that I always wished to meet when I was still a kid. I didn't know how I can meet
him from where I lived in Rwanda. So recently
in a Los Angles tour at Saddleback church were we
had a Sunday concert, we also attended Kirk's concert.
We were offered VIP passes and also was introduced in
his concert and it was so much fun! Oh my gosh, after me
and the Hindurwa guys were introduced people started to come
for our autographs when we didn't do anything. God is so
Great! So we had pictures and I went back in my Hotel room
with lots of happiness.
God is so great!

God is looking for the young people who worship him
in the spirit and the truth. This is where Enric Sifa and Hindurwa
were leading worship in the Momentum Youth Conference
In Portland OR, United States. It's good and lovely that everyone
should know about salvation and the good news of our lord Jesus Christ. It's so sweet to worship the lord.

It was rocking at Scappoose High School!
It's so fun to play in high schools like that one.
I enjoy to see myself and other guys in Hindurwa
doing a ministry to the Americans. Scappoose
High school students were touched by the words
of love, justice, hope, peace and future that are in
our songs. Let's carry the light to the world.

The concert at Grace Chapel in Wilsonville Oregon
was incredible. Hindurwa and I had lots of fun performing and seeing how the audience was responding to our African rythm. It's amazing to see how people from different places gather to listen to our music and hear how God changed our lives. Praise the Lord!!!!!!

I am working with Shawn Lewis and Kris McGreevey to record a few songs on tour at a studio called Downbeat Sounds in Vancouver.

If you don't know Shawn Lewis of Hyper Static Union, GOOGLE HIM. Download his songs from Itunes!

Shawn's talent is far beyond amazing. We are so honored to have Shawn produce our songs and share his God given talent with us.
Maybe Shawn will come to Rwanda if we ask him?????

We perform at so many public schools in America, nearly every day of the week.

Lincoln High School is located in downtown Portland, Oregon. Anthony Morones and Obed Nsanzuwera attend this high school.

These students loved our crazy African drumming and how we yelled so much when we drum.
We really enjoy public schools!

March 27, 2008 I met this amazing author of Left to Tell, Ilibagiza Immaculee. She was speaking at Willamatte University in Oregon State. Wow! She is amazing. I loved how she says about forgiving even those who want to take away your life as she has forgiven people who killed her family and who were almost gonna kill her too:(
The most thing that was good is that she believes that God is the one who can change a life which I also believe. We were all happy to meet each other.
