The face of Christ in Rwanda

We have enjoyed a unique and personal connection with Rwanda ever since Pastor John Rutsindintwarane (“Pastor John”) first visited our church in 1999 to share his vision for reconciliation and restoration of community in that war-torn nation.  He was one of five church leaders who founded the Lutheran Church of Rwanda (LCR) following the horrendous genocide of 1994. For more ABOUT PASTOR JOHN click [here].

The primary purpose of the Rwanda Connection Committee is to support and encourage Pastor John and his work and ministry in Rwanda, the Lutheran Church of Rwanda, and any other project or program that may demonstrate our love and care for the people of Rwanda.  Currently, these include the following:

  1. We organize an annual WALK for RWANDA Trail-a-Thon to raise funds for Pastor John’s work and ministry.
  2. We sponsor a student to attend Rwamagana Secondary School (founded by John’s wife, Robin Strickler).
  3. We offer Fair Trade Products for sale at church and special events.
