Prior to traveling to Karusi we visited Pastor Jeremy’s New Life Church to
participate in a lunch program and worship time for homeless women and widows
and their children. Herve and one of the other pastors were led by the Lord to start
this program. It now ministers to about 50 women and children two days per week.
Herve’s vision is to expand this program to provide some vocational
training to the women so they can not only earn a living and feed their children
but to get them off the street and have some dignity in their existence. This would
be an excellent ministry, I believe, for FBCW to partner with Herve on.
We also attended Revival Church in Gitega. Following the church service we
traveled to the Rutana province to see the primary school that FBCW has helped to
construct in a small community near the Tanzanian border. There is an ongoing
need for additional classrooms for this school to continue to operate. It is my hope Date of Trip Country & Mission Site
and prayer that FBCW will continue to support the future development of this 5/28-6/6 Brazil, Sao Jose dos Campos
school. 6/15-6/24 Burundi, Bujumbura

areas in Burundi. It was a great trip.” John Gibbs — FBCW
