FAPADER BRIEF HISTORY
| FAPADER – the Federation of Adventist Parents Association for the Development of Education in Rwanda groups the associations of the Adventist parents countrywide who strive to contribute to the promotion of education in Rwanda. It is those associations that gave birth to the Independent Institute of Lay Adventists of Kigali – INILAK.
Education as a Strategy of Evangelism Since the Seventh Day Adventist Church started in Rwanda, one of the strategies used in the activity of evangelism (its utmost duty) has always been fulfilled through teaching how to read and write. In every site that was opened up, the first thing to do was to create a small school next to the church building.
Training of Teachers – Evangelists The first Seventh Day Church School with the aim to train teachers – evangelists was planted in Gitwe around 1931. This was the only school that taught the grade three level of primary education. This school received students from the whole Union that comprised of Congo, Rwanda and Urundi. The first students graduated in 1936, as teachers-evangelists. Gitwe that was previously limited to offer up to four years of secondary education was upgraded to a full secondary school status. It seemed a miracle in 1972 after 41 years, to see the first High School graduates with state recognized diplomas. |
