PASTOR LYDIA UMULISA MASASU

CALLING

Lydia’s calling began the moment she started longing for more than what Catholicism was offering her.

In 1982 she accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and renewed her covenant with Jesus in 1987 with the decision to pay whatever cost of not returning to her old self but to follow Jesus.

During her walk with Jesus, she met Apostle Yoshua Ndagijimana Masasu and got married in 1989. Alongside her husband, they ministered to Rwandan refugees in Congo and named it “Jerusalem Ministry”.

In the wake of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, Apostle Masasu preceded PS. Lydia in Rwanda on a mission to establish a church family where everyone would find parents, brothers, sisters and children. Lydia’s ministry in Rwanda began when she joined her husband alongside their two children at the time to carry on the vision of the Apostle.

During her journey to her calling, she was involved in various roles in the church including intercession, worship team and the women ministry. However, the pastoral calling got louder when God specifically told the Apostle that she was supposed to be ordained and serve him as a Pastor. In 2010, lydia Masasu was ordained as pastor.

MINISTRY

Today, she is the senior pastor of ERC Masoro Parish that has about 4,000+ members. She is also the vice chancellor and vice president of the Bible Communication Center, an international organization that aims to prepare an army of consecrated Disciples, from different places and backgrounds to make Jesus Christ Lord of this generation
