Planting New Roots in Karama

The church in Karama located just 10 miles West of the Butare church and is led by Pastor Faustin Karorero. The Karama church sits on the beautiful green farming hills on the Northwest corner of the village of Karama. It's congregation is small but vibrant and growing every month. It was recognized by Pastor Karorero many of the children were not in school or receiving medical care and many families could not afford consistent daily meals. Pastor John Mulisa expanded the Eden Child Sponsorship program to include Karama in 2023 but requires a staff member to administer the program in that area.

How can you help.

Eden Temple International is looking for an American church to partner with the church of Karama. This requires two simple things. First, a yearly donation of $2,400 to pay for the full-time Eden's Child coordinator. The new coordinator will administer the program through the church and ensure the most in need are brought into the Eden Child program. The coordinator also distributes food, school supplies, establishes medical insurance, distributes cleaning supplies, and does health and welfare checks on the families. Secondly, your church will need to start sponsoring children for just $35 a month. The first 20 children in dire need have already been entered into the Eden's child program. Crossroads Church in Bigfork Montana has donated the funds to pay for those 20 families medical costs for the first year as this was the most critical need.

If you or your church would like to start changing lives in Karama please contact us for more details.
