Nyarugenge News
Our contact in Shyogwe Diocese in Rwanda, Marcel, reports that Bishop Jered was visiting our link parish of Nyarugenge on Sunday 30th June. He would have met with the elders, including Marcel's 65-year-old mother. Our prayers are requested for                       1. The success of the Mothers Union income-generating projects of a bakery unit and tailoring workshop;                                                                                                             2. The Diocesan endeavours to train lay people in children and youth ministries; and         3. The opening of schools in September so that parents have the means to provide for their children's education.
