Update from Burundi
We have a team of men and women in Burundi right now. They are teaching in Gitega, which is the geographically central city in the country. This is also the first town where we ever taught in Burundi, back in October 2006. I received info from Kyle Thompson today, who is one of the key leaders for our Africa ministry. He went along with our core team in order to further explore how we can build our ministry beyond teaching in Burundi along the same lines as what we are doing in Uganda. Kyle reported back today that things went very well on this front. He met with leaders from ALARM and Living Water. The rig we assisted Living Water in purchasing is now in country, and Living Water has begun hiring staff in Burundi. They are currently working out of ALARM’s office. I can’t tell you enough how encouraging it is to see parachurch ministries work so well together. It is a real testament to the Christ-centered focus of both of these ministries. We also began to catch a vision for our orphan care ministry in Burundi as well. More later!
Also, please remember that the next two teams will be heading to Uganda and Congo in the next few weeks. Please be praying for both teams.
