The country had lost hope, people were deeply hurt, and churches had been abandoned because of what had happened there,\u201d Muvunyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo we chose to sing as a way of reaching people who no longer worshipped, who were afraid to go to churches and had lost hope, so that they could regain hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choir has also faced difficult moments during its three-decade journey, including two accidents that claimed the lives of some of its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muvunyi said the anniversary is an opportunity to look back at the choir\u2019s journey and the changes Rwanda has undergone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThirty years is not something easy. We have seen God&#8217;s hand, witnessed His miracles and seen people saved from sin. We have also seen the country emerge from darkness and become a country full of hope,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ugandan composer Ssozi Joram, who has written songs for the choir since 1997, said the anniversary theme, \u201cThe Lord is the one who wrote our history,\u201d reflects his belief that God has guided the choir\u2019s musical journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concert will be held at BK Arena on August 30. People abroad will also be able to follow it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tickets can be purchased through ticket.rw or by dialling <em>513<\/em>1*1#.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/xVIcpAe8QldxEOq5ZxCJJo97TY2X8v4iC80yRHxJ-819x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/xVIcpAe8QldxEOq5ZxCJJo97TY2X8v4iC80yRHxJ-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/xVIcpAe8QldxEOq5ZxCJJo97TY2X8v4iC80yRHxJ-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/xVIcpAe8QldxEOq5ZxCJJo97TY2X8v4iC80yRHxJ-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/xVIcpAe8QldxEOq5ZxCJJo97TY2X8v4iC80yRHxJ-1229x1536.webp 1229w, https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/xVIcpAe8QldxEOq5ZxCJJo97TY2X8v4iC80yRHxJ.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                              <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ambassadors of Christ Choir will mark 30 years of gospel ministry with a major concert at BK Arena on Sunday, reflecting on a journey that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,28,34,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current_affairs","category-entertainment","category-national","category-top_stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3344"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3352,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3344\/revisions\/3352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
