Today, we will have an opportunity for our church family to come alongside and sponsor 15 more children in Rwanda, in our sister community of Kayonza. Would you join me in praying that God would use our church family to sponsor more kids? Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring a child in Kayonza through Africa New Life? We saw first hand how sponsorship changes lives. Thank you for your global generosity.
