HeartsForTheWorld International Bringing Hope and Help to the Developing World in Jesus' Name
BURUNDI & RWANDA The Love of Jesus Christ Church Pastor Jean Ngoga
The newest partnership with Hearts for the World International is Pastor Jean Ngoga and the Love of Jesus Christ Church in Kigali, Rwanda and Bujumbura, Burundi.
Pastor Ngoga became a Christian in 1986 and went into full time ministry as a pastor in 1993. In 2003 the Lord gave Jean a vision to plant a church. As Jean prayed he believed he was directed to the scripture verse in John 15:17, "These things I command you, that you love one another." In 2004, the Love of Jesus Christ Church was born in Kigali Rwanda. The church started with 17 people and now has a congregation of over 300.
In 2008 God directed Jean to start a 2nd church; this time in Bujumbura, Burundi. The church now has over 150 people and meets in a tent on land that is rented for $100 per month.
Through partnership with Pastor Joseph Nsabimbona and the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce, Jean started the Christian Business Men and Women's Association of Rwanda. This organization provides much needed to support and encouragement for Christian business men and women in this developing country.
After meeting Pastor Jean in June this year we felt strongly that we should partner with him and bring his ministry under the covering of Hearts For The World International. We are so blessed to know him and are very excited to see how the Lord will develop our relationship and partnership for the future.
