In Bujumbura, Burundi Africa on July 2, 2011 Her
Excellency, Reverend Denise Nkurunziza Bucumi, was ordained as a Minister of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rev. Bishop Dr. Arthur Kitonga a Kenyan preacher and
renowned leader of the Redeemed Gospel Church officiated.
The pastoral ordination of the First Lady of Burundi
is the first of it’s kind in the country and all over the world. The service
was held in the gardens of the Royal Palm Resort located on Lake Tanganyika.
Several high-ranking authorities and distinguished
guests from abroad were in attendance, including the Queen of Swaziland, Her
Royal Highness NOMSA Matsebula. There were clergymen from Tanzania, Rwanda,
D.R. Congo, Kenya, South Africa, Sweden and Canada in attendance as well.
Burundi Head of State, H. E. Pierre Nkurunziza, in
his congratulatory message to His spouse, expressed His delight to see the First
Lady, “Chosen by the Almighty to proclaim the Good News.” President Nkurunziza
went on to say, “He would never oppose the mission of the Lord.” He instead
urged the First Lady to preach the Word of God to the confines of the earth, as
Jesus Christ advised His disciples.
Dr. Clyde Rivers, Honorary Ambassador at Large for
the Republic of Burundi said, “This is a great day for the Republic of Burundi,
the continent of Africa and the Kingdom of God. This is the new Burundi.”
