Grace That Transforms

In the rolling hills of Rwanda, Grace on a Thousand Hills is on a mission to inspire and equip leaders for lasting transformation. Founded and led by Boniface “Bonnie” Lakony and his wife, Solange, this ministry organization is dedicated to building strong church communities across both urban and rural areas of Rwanda. Through training, equipping, and hands-on support, Grace on a Thousand Hills is helping to shape a vibrant, growing network of disciples and leaders committed to spreading the gospel.

Training and Equipping Church Leaders

At the heart of Grace on a Thousand Hills is its focus on leadership development. Bonnie and his team provide intensive pastoral training and Bible teaching, ensuring that leaders are firmly rooted in sound theology. Participants receive instruction in Scripture, practical ministry techniques, and discipleship strategies, enabling them to grow spiritually while gaining the tools necessary to lead others. The training doesn’t stop with pastors; it extends to church planters, community leaders, and those who will guide small groups and discipleship programs.

Leaders are also taught how to establish and grow discipleship groups, creating a network of believers who can support and mentor one another. These groups are instrumental in cultivating a culture of faith and accountability that strengthens entire communities.

Rural Outreach and Ministry Multiplication

Grace on a Thousand Hills is committed to reaching the most underserved communities. Bonnie and his team frequently travel to rural areas, bringing training and resources to leaders who would otherwise lack access to such opportunities. By meeting leaders where they are, the organization ensures that even the most remote regions of Rwanda benefit from strong, gospel-centered leadership.

Church planters are guided on how to establish and expand their ministries, with an emphasis on creating pathways to multiply their efforts. By training leaders to train others, Grace on a Thousand Hills fosters exponential growth in the spread of the gospel.

Economic Empowerment and Resource Support

Recognizing the importance of sustainability, Grace on a Thousand Hills equips leaders with the skills they need to build economically stable ministries. Through economic empowerment programs, pastors and church planters learn entrepreneurial strategies that allow them to support their families and their congregations. Leaders are taught how to manage resources effectively, ensuring that their ministries remain resilient even in challenging circumstances.

The organization also supports local churches by supplying Bibles, teaching materials, and assistance with constructing church buildings. This practical support ensures that church communities have the physical and spiritual tools they need to thrive.

A Family-Led Mission

Bonnie’s wife, Solange, plays an integral role in the ministry. With her compassionate heart and commitment to community transformation, Solange supports Grace on a Thousand Hills by mentoring leaders and providing counseling and advocacy for families.
