In March 2023, we sent out Ben and Cherie Weber—and 6 of their children—as missionaries with our sister diocese in Gahini, Rwanda. Their role is to strengthen our mission partnership and relationship with our sister parish through Friends of Gahini! Each month, they send an update of their ministry work and life as a family adapting to a new culture. If you’d like to receive their monthly updates to your inbox, you can sign up here!

In early November, Bishop Manasseh and Ben were able to travel to the USA to visit churches that are ministry partners with Friends of Gahini. Read more about what their travels in the US looked like (they went ALL over: North Carolina, Connecticut, Virginia, Kentucky, and Chicago) in their full monthly newsletter.

Praises:

• Ben and Bishop Manasseh had a wonderful time in America. Their trip was very smooth and successful.

• Money was donated for pastor's salaries in Gahini while many churches continue to be closed.

• Mae had a safe trip home. She was able to fly with friends.

Prayer Requests:

• Churches to be opened by Christmas. The tradition here is to attend church on Christmas morning.

• A few more people will partner with us so that our year ends well financially.

• A good month with Mae. Please pray that our children will get along with each other well and that we will have a lot of good family time.

• Pray for family back home that are going through some hard times.

Financial Update
As we come to the end of the year, our yearly budget is coming up quite a bit short due to several monthly partners having to roll off. Praise the Lord for bringing a few new partners onto our team in the last few months!

Would you consider partnering in one of these ways?

1. Year End Donation. Would you consider giving a one-time donation here in December to help us finish the year off strong? Thank you to those of you who already have done this!

2. Join our monthly partnership team and start in December. If you are not already a monthly partner, would you ask the Lord if He is calling you to join us in this way? If the answer is yes, could you start this month?

If you would like more information of what it looks like to partner with us, we would love to set up a time to meet with you online to hear more about what God is doing here, and how you can be a part of it. Thank you to all of you who have walked alongside us in partnership this year in prayer and giving. We look forward to celebrating with you in December as we look at our year in review!
