Prayer Team Update
October 2014
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is
lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praise worthy - think about such things.”
Philippians 4 : 8
Rwanda

It is coming to the end of the school year in Rwanda and so the time for national exams has started. Please
pray for all the pupils as they go through their exams, particularly those who are finishing Primary School, as these
exams will determine which high school they will be going to.

Please join us in praising God for helping us find a full time volunteer to work with us in the US for 2015.
Gwyneth has agreed to work full time as a volunteer for Azizi Life & we are excited to have her join our team.
Please pray for Gwyn as she helps develop our work in the US.
Azizi Life is on its way to becoming a strong non-profit organization in the States. Please pray that God would
help Christi and the team with all the details to build a solid foundation prior to her return to Rwanda in February.
Please pray for fruitful sales in the US over the holiday season. If you would like to host a sale in your home,
church, or workplace, please let us know!
Thanks to the growth in Azizi Life over the last twelve months, we are struggling to keep up with everything in
Rwanda and so we are in the process of trying to find a new full time employee. Please pray for wisdom as we
go through this process and that we find the perfect person to join our team in Rwanda.
With the increase in orders since the US Trade Show, it has become clear that we can not keep up with demand
with the existing number of artisans (currently around 300), so we are looking for more. Its exciting to be in
able to help more families. Please pray that God leads us to the right people to partner with.
Despite just sending a large shipment to the US at the end of September, it is clear that we will need to make
another one very soon. Our hope is by the middle of November. To be able to send this shipment, we need
to get a lot of products very quickly. Please pray for the artisans as the prepare the products and for all the
logistics involved in sending our crafts to the US.
Alongside our craft and tourism businesses, we are hoping to expand our community development work in
Rwanda. If we are to grow this work we need to create a Rwandan non-profit which means we need a Board in
Rwanda made up of between 10 to 12 people to oversee the local non-profit. Please pray that we find godly men
and women of good character here in Rwanda to be responsible for this.
Sheila’s family’s land dispute continues. Sheila will take off the whole of November to try and help her family
deal with this situation. Please pray for Sheila and the family as they try and get everything resolved.
Jeannine’s daughter, Jessica, has been diagnosed with bronchitis. She has had problems with coughs & breathing
for over a year. The Doctors say they hope to be able to treat it. Please pray
that this has not become a chronic condition and that Jessica will be healed
completely and quickly.
Thank you for praying for Christi's mother, Paulette. She is thankfully still
cancer-free and is slowly regaining her mobility. Please pray that the family can
be fully ready for Christi's return to Rwanda in February.
Featured Artisan
This family was featured in August’s prayer update. Kevine, the daughter of
Sylverie (a weaver from the Abarikumwe Association), has a physical disability that
is causing her muscles to not function properly. She continues to struggle to hold
her head upright and even to swallow. The family has found a physiotherapist that
believes with the right exercises, Kevines situation will improve. Please pray that
this is the case and also continue to pray for Kevine’s complete healing.
