The Mothers in Kagitumba thank you! As the moms learn sewing skills at the cooperative, they have an ongoing need to have food and other daily provisions. St. James sent some money to the Green New Life Cooperative so that daily household items might be purchased and distributed to the mothers. The mothers received items like cooking oil, soap, porridge flour, milk, sugar, and body lotion.
Please continue to pray for these mothers, their children and extended family. Please pray for Pastor Eldaphonce as he minsters to their spiritual needs. If you would like to support the work St. James is doing in Rwanda, please send a check to the church with the note that the money is to be used to support the mothers in Rwanda.
