Vineyard Mission Rwanda

by Tom Zawacki

This past Sunday we were blessed to have Patrick and Valerie Finnerty with us to discuss their East African missionary efforts in the Republic of Rwanda. In December 2005, following a call from God, the Finnerty family was sent out with the blessing of their home church the Halifax Metro Vineyard. Rwandans desperately need to experience the love of God. Three decades of ethnic tensions between Hutu and Tutsi have cause enormous pain and suffering culminating in the genocide of nearly one million men women and children. Though progress has been made to bring about peace and reconciliation, much remains to be done.
