About the Ministry.
Stephen & Rahab serve in Burundi doing mission work in collaboration with Golgotha churches, local partner services in Burundi.
During a joint meeting, the pastors and partners proposed purchasing permanent land to build new churches. Currently, church services are being held in rented or private venues. Because property owners can reclaim their space at any time, churches are frequently forced to relocate. This instability leads to a loss of members and can disrupt long-term ministry in these communities.
To solve this, the budget requirements for 2026 are:
$1,500,000 USD to purchase 15 plots of land for permanent church buildings.
$248,600 USD to purchase a set of musical instruments.
