Pastor Joseph's Home - Many have helped but more is needed!

Last year St. Paul's United Methodist Church learned that Pastor Joseph's home was in danger of being torn down because the house had no windows, doors and needed a cement covering over the mud bricks.

The church stepped up and funds were sent to provide those things needed, doors and windows. He only had enough to cover a portion of the front of his house with the cement but had the living room walls covered. He is most excited that he and his neighbor went in together to add electricity. Notice the light hanging in the center of his living room ceiling. That's it for light in the living room. Now his 7 children (2 are orphans he adopted) can study at night. Two other children are at university.

The pictures speak for themselves. It's almost like living in a cave with mud brick walls and a dirt floor. But they were so welcoming to us when showing their home. I had a smile on my face but I wanted to cry. This is a pastor's home.

I'll be speaking with him further about his most immediate needs. Please pray as he is praying for others and putting their needs first. He is surely a child of God that is blessed for all he is doing for the people of Rwanda that he touches every day.
