Dear Friends, Receive many greetings from our volunteers in Rwanda and from us here in Holland. The Foundation Stichting Geloof Hoop En Liefde in Holland has founded: “Association Hope” in Rwanda. We are helping Orphans, Aids-Children, Youth and Widows. See video images on; www.GeloofHoopEnLiefdeRwanda.nl In a very poor neighborhood we have started helping the children some years ago. As the center for our work we use a small building which also serves as church. In our last visit to Rwanda we felt a great need to improve our church. The church is very full and the building is being rented, and the walls are built of mud without a solid floor. The fact that the floor is just soil, makes it that a lot of dust goes into the air during the meetings. We are having our eye on a piece of land from where we can better serve the people in the neighborhood. On this terrain we First want to built the church. It will be a simple church but with a good Floor, windows and doors so it can be closed properly so proper help can be provided to the people. There are no churches nearby, so it is a great pioneering opportunity to start this ministry to so being able to proclaim the joyous message of Jesus Christ in Word and in deed. The rented building is too small, and we know that we can easily double the amount of members if we provide more space.

Faustin
Munyaneza, a pastor, is one of our 5 volunteers and links in Rwanda.
He is a faithful person who has committed himself many years as a
volunteer for the foundation. We want to appoint him as pastor and
overseer of the new expansion so that he can even more develop his
talents for God even more and that God can lead him further. (see
pictures). The congregation he leads has a potential and can be seen
as a district congregation, on a location which is accessible for
everyone. |

Without this church it would be very far walking to visit a church on Sunday. From this building Faustin Munyaneza also leads the Aids-project. We also take care for 64 children so that they can go to school, children who themselves have Aids, or their parents have Aids, of whom mostly already died. The cost of the terrain and building are 20.000,-- Euro. We like to ask you for your help for a donation.
Possibly you can also organize a fundraising for this project in
your church, Company, workgroup, Club or friends group. |
Friendly greetings and thank you very much for your support, God bless you |
