The Rwandan government has reportedly closed about 10,000 churches for failing to comply with a 2018 law regulating places of worship, which introduced new requirements on health and safety, financial disclosures, and mandatory theological training for preachers.
Grace Room Ministries once filled giant stadiums in Rwanda three times a week before the evangelical organisation was shut down in May. It is one of the 10,000 churches reportedly closed by the government for failing to comply with a 2018 law designed to regulate places of worship in termes of health, safety, and financial disclosures.
