“I first heard about the women's program through New life Bible church in Nyamagabe, but was hesitant to join. At the time, I was exhausted–physically and emotionally. I was surviving on casual jobs like cleaning, just trying to get by.”

"At just 17 years old, Gisele made the difficult decision to leave home and move to Kigali, hoping to find a better future. But life in the city brought its own challenges. During that time, she became pregnant, and with a child to care for, her situation grew even harder."

Dear Trinity,
Thanks to your generosity, Africa New Life was able to enroll 60 women in the Nyamagabe Life Skills Program this year - 20 more than in previous years! Your generosity is making a lasting impact. As these women receive counseling, build community, and grow in faith, we invite you to continue supporting them through prayer.

Trinity's Fall 2024 Campaign
The full cost of the program through Africa New Life is $55,000. During our Fall 2024 campaign, we aimed to raise half of that amount, with a matching gift pledged by a generous donor from our church family.
Thanks to your incredible support, we raised over $35,000 and surpassed our goal. This contribution helped make it possible for Africa New Life to expand the program’s capacity to 60 women this year, 20 more than in previous years.

Annual Mission Trip
We humbly believe that showing up for our brothers and sisters in Rwanda is a powerful expression of love—one that reflects God’s deep care for them. As we build relationships, we allow the Holy Spirit to move in us, shaping our understanding of how we are called to serve.
This trip is not only about presence, it’s about partnership. It gives us the opportunity to listen, learn, and witness firsthand the impact of our support, so we can return home and share with our congregation the current needs of the people of Nyamagabe. Together, we continue partnering with Africa New Life to see God glorified in their lives—and in ours.
