Our Rwandan partner, the Vivante Church, organizes a feeding programs for street children; basic math, reading and life skills training; micro-enterprise and business management training for widows; medical care for orphans and HIV/AIDS patients; and pastoral support in the Kiziba Refugee Camp, and more. This front-line ministry provides is making an impact in the lives of the desperately poor.Daniel, for example, was an orphaned genocide survivor. He slept on the street, scrounged for food and suffered from an abscessed tooth so badly infected that it was slowly poisoning him. He showed up at Vivante Church, joined the International Teams feeding program and received medical care. Today he is supporting himself as a Commissioner (Real Estate Agent).
