Thank you for your kind gifts to this ministry and for your prayers. You are such a grand part of what we are able to do here in Rwanda. This month seemed to be full of little graceful reminders of God’s goodness in allowing us to impact lives here. We continue to care for an abandoned baby boy who is always smiling. We visited one of our partner churches whose church we were able to help renovate and re-open several years ago....

Dear Friends, The month of January has been full with God’s grace in ministry. Our preschool resumed for second term, and we are blessed to continue ministering to so many sweet children each day sharing Christ’s love, providing a meal each day, and giving them a wonderful environment to learn and develop. Our hearts are full with two babies we are caring for. Noella was found the day after Christmas, while Alvin came to us just after the new year. Both are lovely...

Dear Friends, 1/9/2024 Happy New Year! Thank you for your gracious support to us in 2023. Each December, I relish the opportunities the Christmas season holds to share the Good News of the Savior and share His hope and love with others. We are able to bless many families with Christmas food and deliver gifts to students from sponsors. This year we held a nativity program in our preschool. Before coming to school, many of our preschoolers have never heard...

Thank you for your gifts to this ministry. Your prayers and your giving make possible our mission to Share God’s love and salvation. Aside from our main areas of ministry focus, there are many people whom we help with medical needs, housing, food, and small jobs to become self-supporting. This month, there seemed to be a greater number of medical needs. I share this with you, as these are needs you are helping to meet. Kefa, one of our middle school students,...

Happy Valentine’s Month. As I consider the focus on love this month and reflect on ten years in Rwanda, I think back to the reason Love Alive was begun. I John 4 tells us that God is Love and that all who are in Him will share this love. When God created the world and man in it, He desired a relationship with us. When man chose to sin against Him, in His love and mercy, he made the way...

Please allow me to express my gratitude to you for your gracious gift to this ministry. Each month, I write thank you letters to each person who gives, but I stop to wonder if they realize the impact they make, and the appreciation I have for each person who invests in this ministry, and in the lives impacted. Please know. You matter. Your gift makes a difference. Lives are changed. God’s goodness is displayed. This month, the school year ended, ending...

During the month of May, I was able to visit 3 of our partner churches. Visiting the Agape Church of Pastor Patrick is always a blessing. Four years ago, we partnered with this church to build. It seemed a long process at times with many delays, but what a blessing to see this church opened for 6 months now, and worshiping, growing, discipling and baptizing. There were more than 100 adults plus children on the day I visited. Patrick is a...
