Heard by god - Ismail Ntakirutimana by omaha magazine

The wait was torture. Six months of back-and-forth, missing documents, interviews, and paperwork.  Finally, Ismail Ntakirutimana had a passport in his hands. Now all he needed was a student visa to the United States.  But […]

How rwanda came to steal our hearts

We first went to Rwanda the first time to adopt our two boys Etienne and Zeke. We then went back a second time to visit orphans.

Sending extra love and gratitude for our in country director, James. He fills in the spaces for hundreds of kids in Rwanda; loving them unconditionally and being a tangible example of their Heavenly Father's heart. #fathersday2019

"Pure religion is this, that we look after widows & orphans in their distress." (James 1:27) ↪️ Distress is a temporary condition ↩️ When we empower the widow or the orphan, through education, trade & life skills, we can shorten that time of distress. #fridayvibes #orphannomore #seen #known #empower #educate #madeinRwanda #bethechurch #letsgo #james1twentyseven #orphancare

"Hope Village is important because we could all be near to one another, those of us that Imana Kids has become our family." -Benjamin Our master plan for Hope Village includes trauma informed foster care homes. Anyone who has met the children in our program will attest to the genuine love and concern that they have toward one another; it's the kids' dream to be in close proximity to each other because sometimes family are the people who hold you up when the world has left. #familyismorethanblood #hopevillage #fosterlove #icycere #lovedoes #bethechange #letsbuildavillage #brothers #family #orphancare #seen #wanted #known #chosen #madeinrwanda #home #finallyhome #omahanonprofit
