In November 2020 a new church began in the village of Nyakabungo. The lady drummer accompanies their singing.
In autumn 2021 people started to construct a wooden building with mud and wattle walls and a metal roof.
In December 2021 Nyakabungo Church hosted a 4-day conference for all the churches in the Ruti group of churches.
At the conference 20 people were baptized.

In June 2019 people at Ntsingwa Church raised money to build their church by breeding and selling goats.

To avoid the 4 + mile walk to existing schools, churches near Ntsingwa joined together to build Ebenezer Nursery and Primary School.
They can only afford 3 nursery classes (baby class, middle class and top class) and one (P1) primary class. Pastor Benon Niwagira, of Ntsingwa Church, hopes people will help fund more classes, so it can grow.
