Bishop Leo Ruccibigango of the Restoration Church in Rwanda who also served as a senior pastor with the Full Gospel Church in Uganda for 20 years was laid to rest in Kigali Rwanda last Friday. Bishop Leo Ruccibigango, a pan-Africanist evangelist, teacher, and mentor to many, passed away on Saturday April 24, 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda at the age of 77. Described by his spiritual apprentices as a ‘general’ in God’s army, he succumbed to cancer despite multiple surgeries and hospitalizations. He took the gospel to Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. Political boarders never bound him. Tribal differences never discouraged him. Age never stopped him. Persecution never derailed him. Even the devil, it seemed, ceased daring him. And when the Cross crossed his path, he faithfully carried it to the end of his race. No one who knew him doubted his compassion, generosity, humility, faith, and love for God, His precious creations, and work. He is survived by a widow, 7 biological and several adopted children, and grandchildren. RIP, Bishop Leo Ruccibigango. Watch this space for details on this story coming soon.
