[3] In 1936, the church and mission center at Gahini was the location of what observers described as "a flood of confession and restitution" and the signs of charismatic renewal.

[1] In her history of the Ruanda Mission, Patricia St. John described: The outward manifestations of revival became progressively more violent, and in the summer of 1936 many missionaries felt there was real cause for concern.

There was loud weeping, rolling on the floor and trembling, as men cried out their confession of sin, and their manifestations of joy when they experienced God’s forgiveness were equally alarming from the European point of view.

[4] Converts in Gahini began sending evangelists into neighboring regions and countries, contributing to the spread of revival in Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, Boga Zaire and Tanganyika.

[5] As the Anglican Church of Rwanda grew in the years after the genocide, the Diocese of Gahini was erected in 1997, with Alexis Bilindibagabo serving as its first bishop.
