Three years ago, Antoine Rutayisire, African Enterprise Rwandan team leader, received a copy of The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. After reading it, he decided the Rwandan people should have the privilege of reading it in Kinyarwanda, their native language. He started translating and one year later Antoine was invited to be Warren’s interpreter. When Warren expressed the idea of getting the book translated into Kinyarwanda, Antoine told him it was almost finished. The Kinyarwanda version has been launched. The intention was not only to turn the churches of Rwanda into “purpose driven churches” but to turn the whole nation into a “purpose driven nation.” In fact, Rwandan president Paul Kagame invited Rutayisire “to help turn Rwanda into a purpose driven nation.” (African Enterprise)
