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...

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...

Thank you for your financial gift to this ministry, and thank you for your prayers. We have a building permit! Eight months of waiting, praying, and petitioning were finally rewarded with permission to build our new facility. Baby Manzi has gone home. This little one’s recovering is only by the hand of God. Though he went home this weekend, his mother keeps me updated, and tells me that anyone who sees him, sees a miracle. These are our biggest answers to prayer this...

Happy New Year! I trust this is the beginning of a year of blessings and God’s goodness in your life. As I write, I am listening to classrooms of children as our preschool students and all of our sponsored students have returned to school today for their second term of studies. We thank God for the privilege we have to invest in these children and help them prepare for bright futures. The Christmas season always provides us extra opportunities to proclaim Christ...

January (2021) marked 8 years of Love Alive’s work here in Rwanda. God has blessed us to have partnerships with many churches and to have worked with hundreds of churches in our training programs. He has blessed us to share the gospel with thousands of children each year in vacation Bible school programs across the country. More 300 women have taken part in our vocational training schools in sewing or salon, where they have learned a trade...

(May, 2021)Our Farmers were able to harvest 1,700 pounds of beans this month, and plan to harvest their maize and sorghum this next month. They are thrilled at how this project is allowing them to farm to provide for their families nearly year round. Our preschool is in its second semester, and the children and their parents are loving the education the students are receiving. We have purchased an acre of land to begin building. We have obtained our land title,...
