As 2023 Comes to a Close
The past 2 months have been filled with memories and reminders of God’s grace and blessings in ministry and my personal life. I am amazed at how God continues intertwining the two worlds I live in connected by the gift of His Word and the promise of eternity with Him. Our pastor shared these thoughts on Sunday. God’s promises have no expiration date. He restores and protects His children. Lastly, today’s tragedies lead to tomorrow’s victories. As I reflect on this I see the results of these very words. Through the day-to-day challenges and the long-term trials, I see the determination of the Burundian people to remain faithful. They demonstrate by their actions they are Christ followers. An example for all of us to imitate.
Imana Ni Nziza! God is Good!

Make it stand out
A team of women battled the rain, a car drive, a motorcycle ride and finally arrived on foot to share God’s Word with women in a rural church north of Bujumbura. Determination!
Students and staff joined together to resolve a muddy problem at Maramvya. The rainy season has added significant challenges to the campus. Teamwork!
Kanura students sing their way into the hospital ward to bring others the gift of God’s Word through song and prayers. Patients were blessed and amazed at the blond students who wanted to give to them in their time of need. These students and their teachers took time to be the hands and feet of Jesus blessing them with both spiritual and physical food. Serving!
Your contributions have provided rainwater barrels for clean drinking and cooking water AND athletic shoes and sandals for the 350 students at both schools! Generosity!
The Burundi Hope Leadership Team in Burundi. The ones who we connect with daily to be the Hands and Feet of Jesus! Dedication!
FAITHFULLNESS
We are thankful for the support, prayers, and encouragement of all our ministry partners. As 2023 comes to a close pray about a year-end gift. There are many needs ahead in 2024. Helping the schools with sustainable projects will increase their ability to be self-sufficient. Taking care of the health and nutritional needs of the children allows them to keep up with their studies. Developing new vocational programs provides students with skills to provide for themselves in the future. Above all else giving them the Gospel gives them eternity! Your Faithfulness is what we ask for!
