(Rwanda)–Discipleship and evangelism are the focus of a Bible distribution program in Rwanda. Genocide and AIDS in that African country have left a half a million children orphaned. World Help’s Vernon Brewer says literacy and discipleship programs through the church will help turn the tide. “To help rebuild the country of Rwanda they need to rebuild it on the word of God. So, we want to flood that country with copies of God’s Word. We can provide a Bible in their own language and dialect and have it printed and distributed for as low as five-dollars per copy.” According to Brewer, they’re doing more than provide Bibles. Physical help is also needed. “We immediately are setting up a child sponsorship program. We’re making plans to help them construct an orphanage facility for AIDS prevention and a training center to teach these orphans a trade.”
