Kigali — The planned 'Forty days of purpose' crusade organised by U.S. evangelist Rick Warren, will help boost the preacher's teachings contained in a book called 'Purpose Driven Life', the chief coordinator of the campaign has said.

Eric Munyemana told The New Times yesterday that Warren will speak at the launch tomorrow at Amahoro National Stadium.

Munyemana, who also represents Warren's Saddleback Church in Rwanda, said at least 500 churches are engaged with the campaign, which is part of Warren's global PEACE plan he launched from Rwanda a few years ago.

"We are going to spend forty days sensitizing and helping Rwandans how to be practical and lead lives based on a purpose," he said.

He added that after the public launch, the campaign will then spread to different churches across the country where speakers will be emphasizing each of the chapters of the book.

The same campaign is said to be running in neighbouring Uganda.
