TESTIMONIES FROM GRACE AND GLORY HOME

¥God is doing wonders among us. We are experiencing his wonders in the changes that are taking place in the lives of the Children spiritually, physically, academically & socially
¥We also thank God for supernatural provisions for running the orphanage till this moment. It has been God.

¥I will use the story of Kalfano to testify to God’s goodness among us.
               STORY OF KALFANO NIZEYIMANA
Kalfano was born 7 years ago. He is among the first set of Children we are caring for in the Grace and Glory Home. His father sold the family properties, left the family and has been a vagabond for the past four years. Kalfano has been living with his grandmother who has been straining herself to care for six children, though a subsistence farmer. They eat mostly once and sometimes twice a day.
                              KALFANO WHEN WE VISITED THE FAMILY
Though Seven years, he has not started School when we took him into the Grace and Glory Home. He was not saved. He had low self-esteem, Poorly fed, always isolating himself, his hands, legs and bodies were full of sores, skin diseases when we brought him to the orphanage. It was by faith that we accepted him into the orphanage. 


KALFANO'S SOLE WHEN HE CAME TO THE ORPHANAGE




GREAT TRANSFORMATION
Now, Kalfano is saved. All the Children in the Grace & Glory Home are saved. He has since started School on September 15, 2014 . He has good self-esteem. He relates well with people. The sores on his skin due to neglect and lack of care has been healed. He has boldness to talk and ask questions in the Bible Club unlike before. He is full of joy.
This is typical of all the Children in the Grace & Glory Home.
Lives are being changed.Together, we can do more.

THIS IS KALFANO NOW RADIATING WITH GOD'S GLORY

PROGRESS REPORT ON FMI BURUNDI GRACE AND GLORY HOME

Grace and Glory Home is a long-term project to we embarked upon in Burundi. The home is a habitation of peace for orphans, displaced and vulnerable children. About half of the entire population of Burundi is Children under 15 years of age.
Many of them are orphans and about 560,000 Children have lost one parent. We seek to bring relief to children and teenagers in this category. Children in the Grace and Glory Home are being nurtured holistically until they are equipped to be relevant to the nation and God’s kingdom.

Through our outreach programmes and Children Bible Clubs, we integrate children and youths into the GRACE AND GLORY HOME, give them enlightenment on what it means to live life to the full, empower them with the gospel, making them to discover their personal identity in the light of the Scripture, then we mentor them until they become relevant anywhere they find themselves and especially to God’s kingdom.

On June 01, 2014, we started the orphanage with 7 Children and 4 staff (Myself & my wife inclusive). We are still seeking sponsorship for these Children and support from partners to take care of these vulnerable children and many others that are eagerly waiting for our help
