About Us
The AWM is a Christian ministry that started in 1996 in Kigali , the capital city of Rwanda, with a vision God gave in 1992 for an end time revival movement that will reach every corner of the world, to "Prepare the Bride of Christ for His imminent return." (Amos 4:12)
In August 1999, under the leadership of Apostle Paul Gitwaza, the ministry opened the doors of its first Zion Temple Celebration Center in Kigali, Rwanda. Six years later, Zion Temple Church has grown to be the largest church in Rwanda with a membership of 15000. The ministry has also expanded to other parts of the world, and is now present on three continents: Africa (Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, Tanzania), Europe (Belgium, Denmark, France, UK) and America (USA).

2007: Year of Deliverance and breakthroughSunday December 31, 2006 - Monday January 1, 2007,ZTCC-Kigali, Rwanda.
The New Year 2007 found the whole fellowship assembly of ZTCC – Kigali in a deep communion with the Lord.The overnight service that started Sunday December 31 on 9pm was full of songs of praise and worship, various testimonies, etc, all praising the Lord of Hosts for He had, once again, ended the year still at the side of His children, comforting, guiding, saving and healing them.The climax of the overnight services reached around 0:30am, when the Apostle Paul Gitwaza, the International President of the AWM and ZTCC, started his powerful preaching. Reading from Luke 13:11-16, he spent 75 minutes praying for the sick, proclaiming both individual and mass deliverance and saying what the Lord plans to do in this year 2007.Addressing the estimated 9,000 people that had gathered for the overnight service (with between 500-1,000 people standing out of the church in the freezing night), the Apostle Paul Gitwaza said that as God is aware that the year 2006 was really tough and hard for many (pain and grieves, joblessness, etc), he proclaimed that the Lord confirmed to His servants that the year 2007 will be a year of blessings, peace and prosperity. In this preaching full of revelation on people personal lives, the apostle stressed that this will be ONLY for those who will follow God’s word night and day. The main expected event in 2007 will be the “Africa Arise” annual conference that will be prophetic for the nation and the whole world, to start on 07/07/2007 and for 7 consecutive days.
2007: Year of "Increase by thousands and ten thousands" with Authentic Word Ministries worldwide (Psalm 144:13)By Leo Mana, Reporting from Atlanta, USA Monday January 01, 2007
The Authentic Word Ministries leadership worldwide ended last year in Holy Communion. This year, the Lord's Supper was scheduled to take place on December 31, 2006 at 11:00 PM Kigali time, shortly before the start of new year all night Celebration service. The partaking of the bread and the blood of the Lord Jesus took place consistent with a Christian tradition which the Lord Jesus started himself. Holy Communion at Zion Temple Celebration Centers takes place regularly, but the AWM leadership insists on partaking the bread and drinking the cup at the end of the year for three reasons:- to mark the Lord Faithfulness during the past year;- to celebrate the blood covenant among the “Authentiques” themselves on one hand, but also between each one and the Lord on the other hand;- and to proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.It is also an opportunity to proclaim the Word from the Lord for the New Year.Participated at this sacred meal all the members of the Board of Pioneers of Authentic Word Ministries based in Kigali- Rwanda, the Leadership of AWM in Arusha-Tanzania, Bujumbura-Burundi, Bukavu-RDCongo, Brussels-Belgium, Coventry-UK, Copenhagen-Denmark, Atlanta-Georgia-USA, South-Bend-Indiana-USA, and Richmond-Virginia-USA. Each Zion Temple Celebration Center also organized their own Lord’s Supper locally, but they all partook of the meal simultaneously, using international conference calls.When supper was ended, the Word of the Lord was proclaimed. 2007 will be the Year of "Increase by thousands and ten thousands" (Psalm 144:13).It is worth mentioning that here in Atlanta, when the congregation was invited to sow a seed for the New Year, a seed of $144.00 was presented to the Lord. An indication for us that we need to take Psalm 144 seriously.

ZTCC – Kigali Asaph International in concert Saturday December 30, 2006
The Asaph choir of the Authentic Word Ministries (AWM) nerve center, the Zion Temple Celebration Center (ZTCC) – Kigali ended the year with a so-much expected and anointed public concert.
The attendance of around 1,000 people that gathered at Amahoro National Stadium, was not at all disappointed, as for 3 hours, all the sections of Asaph Choir lifted the name of the Most High: very much loved hits made the attendance either bow their knees or jump: songs like “urera” and “Nkosi Sikelela” (sangwith well imitated Zulu masks), dances from the Asaph-Ubumwe Culture group, illustrated songs from the Asaph – Drama, etc.
The pearl of the concert was with the still unknown “Asaph – Authentic”, exclusively made of ZTCC pastors. It was led by the Apostle Paul Gitwaza with his talented solistic voice, Pastor Claude Djessa Berger on the keyboard, Pastor Richard Muya on the drums, etc.

Zion Temple Celebration Center - Atlanta Celebrates the New Year with New Vision, By Aurora Muhuza, Reporting from Atlanta, USA Tuesday January 02, 2007
In a much anticipated address, Rev. Leonard Uwiringiyimana, Pastor of Zion Celebration – Atlanta, delivered a visionary message that encompassed an outline of the direction in which the church is headed for the upcoming New Year. Generalizing from Proverbs 11:14, according to which "Where there is no guidance, the nation falls", he made the case that the same is true within the church—which, in a parallel manner—cannot stand if she is lacking in vision and guidance.A new year is always a wonderful opportunity to set up new goals, aim for new objectives, and aspire to new ends. In his message, he pointed out that a new year can be compared to a journey, in which there is a point of departure and a point of destination. Knowing where you are and where you are going helps to determine your path along the way.According to the vision that was given:The destination for the ZTCC-Atlanta by the end of this year is to walk in demonstration of Kingdom power and authority—doing miracles, signs and wonders that the Lord Jesus did, and even more that exceeded those, consistent with the Word of the Lord in John 14:12. These works will be done so that the Father is glorified in the Son.
The departure point was found in Jeremy 1:6, where the Lord God Almighty called Jeremiah to be a prophet for the nations in his tender childhood. When the young prophet opposed to God that he couldn't do the job because he was too young, the Lord rebuked him for confessing that he was a child. Rather, He encouraged him to go wherever He sent him, promising that he will give him words to speak, and go with him to protect and deliver him as needed.Many in the church may feel that we are unqualified for God's Vision for our destiny this year, but Jeremiah was seemingly unqualified as well. And yet, because the Lord was with him, and put words into his mouth to speak and protected him, he became more than qualified for the work he had been called to do.
That same God never changed. He is still the same, and wants to do His work through us—and He will do it.
As to the issue of how we get there, the Word in John 14:12 provides the answer, again. It is three-fold:1. Believe in Jesus: "Truly, truly, if you believe in me, you will do the work I do."2. Whatever you ask in my Name, I will do it!3. To give Glory to my Father, I will do whatever you ask in my Name!
Our Father receives Glory when we complete the job He gave us to do. We will complete this work by being faithful in these three matters:1. "Forceful men" in the church will lay hold of the advancing Kingdom of heaven by choosing one role model from a list such as the one in Hebrews 11, and will strive to emulate him in their personal walk with the Lord, with the purpose of fully walking in his/her steps by the end of the year.2. We will cultivate our Faith in the Lord Jesus, by being consistent in practicing Rom 10:17 and 10:10. “Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of Christ". We will achieve "righteousness" by believing the Word of the Lord in our hearts and "salvation" through the confession of our mouth.3. We will be faithful in tithing not only our money, but more importantly our time, asking to complete our work in the Name of Jesus, and insisting that our Father be glorified through our doing the works of Jesus, even greater works than His.
God, please help us in this, and give us the strength and grace to follow through. Lord, we know that without you, it would be an impossible task; but we ask that your love and mercy abide in us, and give us the resolve, willpower, and ability to do as is Your Will. We love you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
