George Fox Students Learn Praise Song

Earlier this week I had the privilege of meeting with a group of students who attend George Fox University. In preparation for a trip to Rwanda this May, the students are learning some Kinyarwandan travel phrases based on the curriculum developed by Speak Rwanda

Part of this fun evening included learning a Rwandan praise song, led by native born Enric Sifa and Kinyarwanda lessons also led by Enric.

Njye nzahora mpimbaza uwiteka
Umwami wange, imana yange.
