We came ready to build, but God was already at work.
The Lifegate Missions team jumped into construction as soon as we arrived in Burundi. From Homes of Hope projects in Kabezi to a church build in Bugarama, there was no shortage of ways to serve.
We helped lay foundations, carry stones, and put up walls—work that will become safe homes and a place of worship for local communities.
But in Bugarama, something more was happening.
As teams went out into the community, sharing the Gospel and praying with people, we quickly realized we were stepping into work God had already begun.
Over 100 people gave their lives to Christ.
In a fishing community where many have looked to other forms of protection, the name of Jesus was lifted high—and now there will be a church where new believers can gather, grow, and worship together.
We came ready to build with our hands.
God was building something far greater.
