Over a year ago, we asked churches to help build a new building for the Ndava Free Baptist Church in Cibitoke, Burundi for $50,000. It took some time, but construction is well under way, thanks to generous gifts from Unity Baptist Church in Las Vegas, as well as New Beginning Christian Fellowship in Azusa, CA, and Second Baptist Church of Santa Ana, CA.
Our team worshipped at Ndava last May. The facility was far too small to accommodate the number who came to hear God’s Word and rejoice in His goodness. A new facility was clearly needed. The church building ws little more than a hut, as you can see from the pictures. The congregation had gathered large stones from the nearby riverbed to use in the foundation. Additional land had been purchased. Everything but the funding was in place.
Over the next week, you will see the progress on the building–from the rude hut and pile of stone, to a building that will house the growing congregation and provide a base for continued outreach.
You can be part of this effort as well. Contact me at sroblee@transmin.org to learn how you can be part of this amazing ministry.
