Grace on a Thousand Hills: Transforming Communities through Leadership Training in Rwanda

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Kigali, Coalescence Rwanda stands as a beacon of hope and transformation. This multipurpose facility, used by Boniface “Bonnie” Lakony and his organization, Grace on a Thousand Hills, serves a dual purpose: as a dynamic training center for church leaders and as a sustainable income source for Bonnie and his family.

Bonnie’s mission through Grace on a Thousand Hills is clear: to train and equip leaders who will disciple others and plant thriving churches across Rwanda’s rural and urban areas. Through this initiative, he fosters a ripple effect of spiritual growth and community empowerment.

The Coalescence Rwanda property is an integral part of Bonnie’s vision. This space is more than just a building; it is a hub of learning and connection. The property is equipped with classrooms and meeting spaces where participants dive into theological education, discipleship techniques, and leadership principles. It also provides workshops on practical skills such as business development, hospitality management, and digital marketing, helping leaders create sustainable income sources for their ministries. Visiting pastors and trainees from rural areas can stay on the property during intensive training sessions, making it accessible to a wider range of participants.

For Bonnie and his family, Coalescence Rwanda is both a ministry base and a home. Living on the property allows them to engage deeply with the community they serve while managing the center’s operations. It also provides income through hosting events such as conferences, weddings, and community gatherings, which generate revenue to support its operations. Additionally, guest lodging at the center offers a steady income stream while fostering cross-cultural exchange and networking.

Through Grace on a Thousand Hills and Coalescence Rwanda, Bonnie is making a profound impact. Leaders trained here go on to plant churches and mentor others, creating a resilient network of faith communities across Rwanda. By integrating spiritual growth with practical skills, Bonnie ensures that these leaders are equipped not only to preach but also to thrive economically.

Grace on a Thousand Hills invites individuals and organizations to partner in this transformative mission. Whether through funding, volunteering, or prayer, every contribution helps sow seeds of hope and empowerment across Rwanda’s thousand hills.

Bonnie and his family embody the spirit of resilience, faith, and service. Coalescence Rwanda is more than a training center—it is a catalyst for change, a place where lives are transformed, and a testimony to what can be achieved when vision meets action.
