Günter Reschke remembers that he visited Rwanda at the end of September 1993. He recalls: “I was sent by the Kenya branch to Kigali to teach the Kingdom Ministry School with Brother Rwakabubu.

The following afternoon, Brother Rwakabubu phoned the missionary home to say that the Russian embassy had relinquished its claim to a plot of land on which we had been hoping to build a country office. It could now be allotted to Jehovah’s Witnesses, and we were to have a meeting about it the next morning, Thursday, April 7.
