Many pastors in Rwanda must walk to their churches or to visit their parishioners. It can sometimes take 2 hours on foot to get where they need to go. Motorbikes are an inexpensive way to allow pastors to navigate the dirt roads and mountain trails. It is often easier to ride motorbikes on the dirt roads of Rwanda than it is a car due to the poor quality of the roads. But many congregations in Rwanda are already burdened with updated building standards set by the Government of Rwanda. Motorbikes are often beyond the reach of most churches. The gift of a motorbike allows for pastors to be more effective in their ministry, and permits more outreach among the community they serve. A motorbike is a relatively inexpensive gift with HUGE benefits for our partner congregations.
In this blog, we'll focus on the working being done at Sligo Presbyterian Church, Sligo, Pennsylvania. We'll also look at what's happening in Sligo, Rimersburg, Clarion, and all the other communities served by our congregation.
