ABOUT UMUCYO W'ISABATO
“Shining the Light of God’s Sabbath to the World”
Who We Are
Umucyo w’Isabato — translated “Sabbath Light” — is a faith-driven, mission-centered Adventist ministry devoted to spreading the everlasting gospel and restoring the beauty of God’s Sabbath truth in harmony with the Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation 14:6–12.
We exist for one purpose:
To lead souls to Christ, reveal the truth of the Bible Sabbath, and prepare the world for Jesus’ soon return.
Through digital evangelism, literature outreach, community missions, youth engagement, and educational content, we bring the light of truth to homes, villages, and online communities across Africa and beyond.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
— Isaiah 60:1 (NKJV)
Our Story — How Umucyo w’Isabato Began
Every revival begins with a burden.
Umucyo w’Isabato was born out of a deep spiritual concern — a burden to restore awareness of the Bible Sabbath, to counter rising confusion about truth and law, and to respond to global movements toward Sunday observance and religious compromise.
In the heart of Africa, where the Sabbath message is still scarcely known in many regions of Burundi, two dedicated Adventist believers — Eric Habyarimana and Eliezer Ndanyuzwe — united with one conviction:
“Light must shine before darkness grows stronger.”
What started as a small idea soon became a movement:
Publishing Sabbath-centered materials, producing sermons and teachings, reaching people through media, and engaging in personal and public outreach.
Today, Umucyo w’Isabato continues to grow by the grace of God — guided by Scripture, inspired by prophecy, and committed to the mission of Christ.
Our Mission, Vision, and Core Beliefs
Mission Statement
“To illuminate the truth of God’s Sabbath, proclaim the Three Angels’ Messages, and prepare people for the soon return of Jesus Christ through evangelism, media, literature, and community outreach.”
Our Vision
A World Enlightened by God’s Truth
We envision:
- A generation grounded in end-time prophecy
- Churches strengthened with Sabbath truth
- Youth equipped to share the gospel boldly
- Communities transformed through love and service
- East Africa, especially Burundi, reached with the full light of present truth
- Believers prepared for the final crisis
- A global family of faithful ambassadors for Christ
Our Core Beliefs
Built on firm biblical foundations, Umucyo w’Isabato stands fully aligned with Seventh-day Adventist teachings, upholding:
- The Bible as the inspired Word of God
- Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ
- Obedience to all Ten Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath
- The imminent Second Coming of Christ
- The Three Angels’ Messages as Heaven’s final appeal
- The state of the dead as unconscious rest
- The heavenly sanctuary and Christ’s priestly ministry
- The call to live a life of holiness, service, and surrender
Everything we teach, publish, and share flows from these truths.
Our Ministry Pillars
Our mission is built upon four strong pillars that guide all we do — following the method of Christ: “He mingled with men as one who desired their good.” (Ellen G. White, Ministry of Healing, p. 143.)
1. Digital Evangelism (Media & Online Ministry)
In today’s digital age, the gospel must be preached “to every nation, tribe, and people” — both on the ground and online.
We produce:
- YouTube sermons and Bible studies
- Prophecy documentaries and Sabbath-focused content
- Youth-oriented spiritual videos and podcasts
Through technology, we are reaching hearts across Africa, Europe, and the global Adventist family.
2. Literature Ministry & Publishing
“The press is a powerful instrumentality to reach the world.” — Ellen G. White, Life Sketches, p. 217.
We believe that written truth transforms lives.
That’s why we publish and distribute:
- The foundational book “Umucyo w’Isabato”
- Bible tracts, study guides, and devotionals
- Online articles and printed Sabbath materials
One book can touch a family.
One tract can spark a revival.
3. Community Outreach & Evangelistic Campaigns
We follow Jesus’ method — going where the people are.
Our outreach focuses on both spiritual revival and practical compassion.
We conduct:
- Public evangelistic campaigns
- Village missions and Bible distributions
- Health, family, and lifestyle education
- Spiritual counseling and youth mentoring
In many rural areas of Burundi, where the Sabbath truth remains hidden, we are shining the light of truth — one soul at a time.
4. Youth Engagement & Bible Game Development
Young people are not only the future — they are God’s workforce now.
We are developing:
- Bible-themed games and mobile tools to make learning engaging
- Youth evangelism training programs
- Creative platforms to help youth share their faith
Our goal is to make spiritual truth accessible, interactive, and unforgettable for the next generation.
Our Calling and Commitment
Dedicated to the Work Until Jesus Comes
Everything we do is motivated by:
- Faith in God’s promises
- Prayer as our lifeline
- Passion for the gospel
- Boldness in truth
- Urgency for mission
- Love for people
- Desire for salvation of souls
We believe God is raising ministries like Umucyo w’Isabato to shine amid earth’s final crisis.
We will not rest until the everlasting gospel reaches every home and heart.
“Those who have the light are to let it shine forth in clear, steady rays.”
— Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 6, p. 24.
