Faith Church began a journey with World Vision in Rwanda in 2008. Through this focus area, our congregation – including children, students and adults – has been part of a journey to make a tremendous impact in the communities of Karaba, Simbi, and now Tare. We’ve been able to support Team World Vision, Kids Team Rwanda, End Malaria projects, Caregiver Kit Packing, child sponsorship and basket sales in support of micro-financing.
A team of leaders from Faith Church traveled to Rwanda in 2010 to deepen our relationship and see firsthand Faith Church’s impact in Rwanda. Later that same year, we celebrated that trip through our sermon series, The Hole in Our Gospel. Since then, many of our members and attenders have discovered their own ways to be involved in the world utilizing our unique God-given gifts.
In 2017, we saw the completion of World Vision’s work in Karaba, and as a church, we transitioned our focus to a new community in Rwanda called Simbi.
In 2026, we began to celebrate again the completion of World Vision’s work in Simbi, and begin the transition to the community of Taré, Rwanda. To launch this transition we hosted the World Vision Chosen event. Together, all of our locations committed to sponsoring over 650 children in the community of Taré! This was a beautiful way to partner together in a new community in Rwanda with World Vision.
We are thrilled to be able to have a lasting impact through our partnership in Karaba and Simbi and share in the blessing that generations of children will have access to clean water, education and sustainable gardens. We look forward to continuing alongside World Vision and their work in Taré!
We celebrate nearly two decades of work with World Vision to reach the “Land of a Thousand Hills” through community development efforts. Together, we are bringing Jesus Christ to the poor and oppressed, bearing witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.
