Pastor John's projects

Pastor John is an amazing person. He has so many projects going at both the local community level and at the national level. Two that are particularly notable are
(1) a community organizing effort in a remote village to develop a clinic for the region. John learned community organizing in his studies in the U.S. He has very quikly gotten local leaders to identify community development priorities and organize to move projects forward. We were so impressed in what has been accomplished in just a few months. The much needed clinic project is moving ahead quickly with amazing community energy.
(2) the other project is post genoecide reconciliation with the young people of various congregations. We visited an Anglican church in Kibungo where John was doing his training. The youth were so enthusiastic; at the end of the meeting they all burst into disco dancing and pulled all of us onto the floor to dance. It was such a joyful experience.

John and Robin are an amazing pair; we love them and want to support them moving forward. Our partnership with John and the Lutheran church in Rwanda was solidified during the visit andwe have many ideas on how to move it forward for the longer term.

Peace, Gary
