Beautiful view across the valley from our land at Myramvya
Press Release
November 4, 2009 - The How Far Foundation, Inc. and howFar Ministries, Inc. have authorized Phase One of our construction project at Myramvya, Burndi to begin. The first phase is a permanent church structure.
You may recall that God led us to plant a church among the Batwa Pygmies at Muramvya last year. In May of this year, the Governor of the Muramvya Province, the Honorable Oscar Ndayiziga, gave The How Far Foundation, Incorporated a gift of land for a church and school.
The temporary church sits on the distant hilltop
The church will be built on several fantastically beautiful acres atop a mountain overlooking a wonderfully green valley with a river winding through it.
Temporary structure built by the Batwa Church
The 60 Batwa members of the church at Muramvya will do the majority of the work including making all of the mud bricks. Once the structure is completed the church members will be able to worship together even during the prolonged rainy season.
According to The Joshua Project only 7% of the 313,000 Batwa Pygmies are Christian. There are only 7 known Batwa churches in all of Rwanda, Burundi and The Democratic Republic of the Congo. By God’s grace, five of them have been planted by howFar Ministries.
Sharing the gospel of hope with those who have not heard.
