A team of thirty representatives from the head office and different projects of Youth for Christ Burundi attended that conference. We had an amazing time. The conference was honoured by different leaders from Burundi. The Youth for Christ Africa Leader who normally focussed on Family Matters, encouraged participants by sharing his passion to mobilise participants to mobilise Indigenous leaders, particularly young people by engaging, empowering and equipping them to bring hope to this generation. The message was shared with YFC staff delegates from Youth for Christ Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, Rwanda and Burundi who attended the conference. Different topics were on the agenda: - Family Values, Stewardship, Evangelism, Spiritual formation and Discipleship. We are grateful to the Lord as the speakers and facilitators happen to meet the expectations of the Participants.</span></div>

<span lang="en-US">Future Hope School students are already in their period of exams for their first term during this 2018 and 2019 school year. We attach great importance to preparation of students for success. The results of this is observable as our schools are ranked among the best schools in Burundi. We give glory to the Lord! We are also grateful to the Lord for the good health of both Future Hope School and Gitega International Academy students. Please continue praying with us for the students to keep moving forward in excellence. </span></div>

These lessons were taught by former GIA students ( graduates) who preferred to share their knowledge with their young brothers and sisters. They were under the supervision of Future Hope School class teachers. We are so grateful to the Lord for a such activity.<br />

The Lord is so faithful! Thanks to your support, we've been able to build a Science Lab at Gitega International Academy and new classrooms for the Future Hope Schools. We thank the Lord as some of our students were selected among the best pupils at the national level to sit for a national exam. We praise the Lord, they succeeded and our schools are classified among the best schools in Burundi. Yeah,your support was not in vain. May the Lord bless you abundantly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351726696363112170.post-37734714428015635392018-07-16T13:39:00.002+02:002018-07-16T13:39:33.586+02:00<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QM9rm1-m788/W0yAfmZ4XvI/AAAAAAAAAj8/LB3mAQop7GoKmwBjoKXNNsRWZUeEdZ_xgCLcBGAs/s1600/Vision%2Bpicture%2Bat%2BGIA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1075" data-original-width="1400" height="245" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QM9rm1-m788/W0yAfmZ4XvI/AAAAAAAAAj8/LB3mAQop7GoKmwBjoKXNNsRWZUeEdZ_xgCLcBGAs/s320/Vision%2Bpicture%2Bat%2BGIA.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

This is due to both the government extending the number of school grades taught within a primary school, and a constant high demand for school places from parents.

The farming project is going well these days. Recently, we got a donation of irrigation equipment together with a truck from Villages of Life Australia. These donations help us a lot. The truck is for instance used to look for food to feed our domestic animals,… Talking about irrigation, it is a very huge blessing to us especially during the summer season where plantations are dry and hard to get vegetables. In the same way another cow in our Homes of Hope gave birth to a baby cow. This project is making a big impact in the lives of our kids. They get milk , meat,..without much struggles and some of the vegetables are also affordable. May the Lord bless you all who are contributing to change lives! You are the source of these blessings! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

private Christian boarding school in Burundi. The graduation was on the 17th and the excitement we saw from the parents and students showed their confidence in this school. Thirty two students graduated and the pride of the students and parents was evident. Several of the parents offered gifts to Freddy and the other leaders to show their deep gratitude. We continue to pray that the hands of God be on GIA and Burundi YFC leaders as they work together to make this school a great success. <o:p></o:p><br />

Seventeen years ago we had nothing. There was no building, no office, no children’s home. But there was a seed planted in the hearts of people when a woman brought us her malnourished son. We wanted to take him but had nowhere to go. Praise the Lord that the vision was planted that day and we stand today to testify that with God all things are possible. Now, there are 91 children who have homes in our three orphanages across Burundi. They have enough food and clothes. They learn about the love of their Heavenly Father and receive an education at our schools. YFC schools have been named the best in the country, including GIA (where the graduation was held). There are over 200 staff employed at the many locations across the country including the main office, guest houses and Shammah Health Centre. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"> spent all these years witnessing God’s provision. It started from a tent as both an office and orphanage at Gitega . But now, it has a building at Bujumbura (headquarter office), three sites at Gitega, one site in Cibitoke, a site in Makamba and hopefully another one to start in Ngozi. Yes he is the provider of everything. All those sites are made of five schools, three Homes of Hope ( orphanages) two Clinics and farming projects. For sure, your support was not money lost, it contributed a lot to make Freddy’s dream become a reality. BYFC is now busy organising a thanksgiving day to the Lord for all the miracles witnessed over the journey and a first students’ graduation of Gitega International Academy (one of its five schools) on the 17th and 18th of June 2017. Could you please join us and witness these God’s provision?</span><br />

Registration day for GIA was August 28</span><span lang="en-US"><sup>th</sup></span><span lang="en-US"> and excitement that we saw from the parents showed their confidence in this school.

<span lang="en-US">On the other side, the Future Hope Schools opened the new school year on the 12th of September. We praise the Lord as many parents keep showing their confidence in these schools. We can observe it through the number of students which keeps increasing each year. . We are grateful for the light that FHS is being to the community, and we are glad to see so many students being added! The Lord is guiding the teachers, students and parents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">In the same way, we are grateful to the Lord as building the multipurpose hall is done. It can easily host 800 persons. Even the community will benefit from the use of it either for conference or other activities. We are now praying for the equipment. In addition, the final constructions for the kitchen are still going on. We will be done soon and we also pray for its equipment and accreditation for GIA as we prepare for the very first graduation at GIA in June of 2017. It will be followed by a big thanksgiving service on the Sunday.</span></div>

This is how far we are with constructions: At Bwoga (a new site for FHS Gitega), we are busy adding more classrooms for the nursery and high school level. At Cibitoke, we are building a Headmaster’s office and a new home to house the new orphans to come soon. We praise the Lord as the building work is already done at Makamba. Talking about GIA, we are busy with finishing works for the multipurpose room, adapting the kitchen to the standard required by the Association of Christian School International. The building under constructions will hold boys dormitory to house the new students , multipurpose hall ... This will free up existing classroom space for the new grade 7 classes that will start at the end of August.</span></span></div>

Clinics and hospitals require payment in advance of treatment, and pharmacies would not dream of letting you take medication until it was paid for in full. Shammah Health Center is cutting new ground with their affordable healthcare. Not only are their prices relatively low, but they allow people to get the treatment they desperately need, even if they don’t have enough money on their person, on the promise that they will return to pay later. In these days of crisis in the country, about 10% of the patients have not been able to pay in full especially in case of hospitalisation, and over 70% of them have already returned to clear the debt at a later date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There have also been a few cases where patients have honestly told us that they don’t know if they will ever be able to raise the money to pay the debts, which has resulted in the work scheme programme. Patients can return to the centre when they are well and do a few days manual work in our fledging malnourishment programme to pay off their debt. During this period of crisis, the grassroots are in extreme poverty and are really in the need of assistance. Shammah’s trust in people gives them dignity, empowerment and responsibility for their own healthcare, whilst providing access to those who would otherwise be denied. Everybody wins! Let’s serve the Lord!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are grateful to the Lord and everyone who supported this activity. The trip was an exciting experience especially for the majority who were flying for the first time. Students really got many lessons from that trip. In brief, the exposure of our students to a new culture in a new community and new environment was very amazing. This could be explained by the fact of playing in a foreign country with students who are more skilled challenged the students greatly and motivated them to play even better in the future. Students also showcased their skills to their friends and learned from them too. Thus, they exchanged lessons with other students in some ways. Once more, students visibly went through mentorship. They received spiritual formation in between matches every day and this is really making impact in the life of those students. May the Lord bless abundantly everyone who contributed to make this activity happen. It was demanding but very needed and fruitful.<br />

Raising up a generation of godly leaders to transform our society is the Vision on Burundi Youth for Christ. Now that the country is in crisis, BYFC is not sitting down waiting for peace to run the vision. We are busy at work. We have a thousand of students to train in both Future Hope Schools and Gitega International Academy. They are soon leaving for Christmas holidays to be back in January of 2016. While back, they have to be supervised. They can't be left by their own. They are teenagers and young children of primary schools. So, we've chosen investing in the youth. It's like planting seeds in a good soil. Let's combine our efforts, for sure the harvest will be so good.<br />

In addition to the fish, snow peas and queensland pumpkins with many other vegetables are planted although we are in dry season. We collect dirty water from fish and put it in the garden of vegetables. It contains most of minerals required for the vegetables. We thank Des Willmott from Villages of Life Australia who spent two months with us teaching some of YFC staff how to run a such project. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Irakoze is a woman who came to Shammah Health Center with a breast infection after visiting many other clinics and hospitals and finding no cure. She doesn’t just have a breast infection, her entire breast is a tumour and it is still spreading. We had to tell her that she has end-stage cancer. She doesn’t have long to live. She is a Muslim woman, but knowing Shammah Health Center is a Christian clinic, she still came. On her initial visit, we asked her if we could pray with her. She said no. When she returned for a follow-up appointment, we asked her again, and she said yes. During the next visit, she not only said yes to prayer but she asked if we could pray for her whenever we think of her. I don’t know how long she has to live, but I know she was led to Shammah for a reason.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shakuru. This tiny baby is the smallest person I have ever laid eyes on. He was extremely premature, but had been born 2 weeks prior and had survived that long in his little, under-developed body. His mama brought him in as he was having difficulty breathing. We stabilized him and after keeping him under observation for the day, he was about to be transferred to Kibuye hospital when he stopped breathing. We did CPR for 20 minutes and then he passed away. After closer inspection, we could see that this baby had severe disabilities and deformities that would have made his life very difficult. He is now with Jesus. This is the sixth baby his mother has lost as for some reason she is not able to bear children to full-term. This is devastating for the family. They named him Shakuru, which means “thankful.” We prayed with the family and comforted them however we could. I only pray that God used us to be a comfort to her in this time of extreme loss.</span></span><br />

We wanted to transfer him to Kibuye hospital for surgery but he kept saying: “No, you guys can fix it!” We thought that was a sweet thing to say but it wouldn’t ever happen. However, with regular dressing changes at Shammah Health Center his foot is almost completely healed. He no longer needs to be transferred for surgery. Seeing Mattias has been one of the many joys of our work weeks.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Little Deborah – The baby who choked on the orange seed and we revived… Her mother came back to pay her debt and brought Deborah for a visit. She is a thriving, happy, beautiful baby! A little miracle. Seeing her again was special for the whole Shammah team! Her mother said to me: “I had lost all hope. You saved my baby’s life.” Those are words that will stick with me the rest of my life. God is so good.</span></span></div>

Her mother, Pascalia, has been using our medical services for her family and is paying off her debts through our work program. She is such a hard worker and does it with such joy. She has been a huge asset in contributing to land clearing for our malnutrition program. And it is a treat to be able to see this family throughout the week and watch baby Shammah grow!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first mama that joined our debt work program walked almost 2 hours one way just to pay us a visit and thank us for the time that we allowed her to be treated and pay her debt off by working later. This was a really moving experience for her, enough that she made this long journey just to thank us and bring us a basket of green bananas from her garden. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are a few of the most memorable stories I have to share from the last couple of months.
