Purpose:

St. Paul’s Church has a long-standing relationship with Bishop John Rucyahana and Transformational Ministries (TM) in Rwanda, which includes ongoing financial support of this ministry.  Bishop John and TM have a wealth of experience hosting mission groups like ours. 

During our stay, we will be meeting the children, youth and families who are benefiting from their ministry, which includes educational programs, agricultural coops, animal husbandry and housing assistance.  During our stay, TM will also be hosting a two-day Youth Conference for approximately 50-70 children and youth.  At this conference, our team will have an opportunity to serve, love, teach and pray with these precious youth, many of whom have faced very challenging circumstances and experienced significant trauma in their lives.
