MUKAZA, August 19 (ABP) – An interdenominational conference named EHAD Conference will be held from August 19 to 22, 2025, at the El Shaddaï Church in Bujumbura, announced the pastor of the said church, Mr. Eric Ndayikengurutse, during a press conference held on Monday, August 18, ahead of the event.
Speaking to journalists, Mr. Ndayikengurutse stated that the main objective of this conference is to promote unity among Christian churches in their diversity.
