RWANDA

Jano and Chrissie Mulindabigwi (Kigali) request prayer for a team of 5 people who are going out from Northern Ireland to visit them. They will stay for ten days, from 7th-17th February, and will be shown all aspects of the work in and around Kigali. Pray that they will be kept in good health and for safety in travel.

Following the recent earthquake, Echoes has sent a gift from the Disaster Fund to help victims. Chrissie Mulindabigwi (right) says: ‘The island of Nkombo, which is just off the mainland and between Congo and Rwanda, was badly hit. All of the 460 homes are destroyed or badly damaged, including the school and our two churches under construction. Eight people have died and 80 are in hospital from this small island. The reason that the information is trickling out is because of the inaccessibility of the island. The men who usually row the boats are too scared to sail for fear of another quake. In Cyangugu town many houses now have cracks in them. Yesterday, people were just relieved to be alive and so today are assessing the damage. Please pray for our believers and for us as we visit and see how we can help.’

ZAMBIA
