BURUNDI
Seven million people reside in the 28,000 sq km country of Burundi.  Rated the third poorest country in the world on the UNDP human development index, Burundi suffers from poverty, HIV and the effects of war.

Burundian refugees are scattered throughout the surrounding countries of Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Burundi is home to many orphans and widows. Hundreds of thousands of people are re-starting their lives following half a century of acts of genocide in the tension and conflict between Hutu and Tutsi.

In 2004, Ananias Munana and his wife Clarette (pictured above) began meeting with a small group of people with the hopes of planting a different kind of church in the capital city of Bujumbura. Today, the Bujumbura Vineyard Church has an average Sunday morning attendance of 350 people. The average age of members is just 25.

Bujumbura Vineyard runs ministries for women, children, youth, intercession and social outreach.  They have weekly home groups and a strong worship team.

There are many students in the church, so Ananias and Clarette support themselves financially through the income from Clarette’s job. Tithes and offerings pay the rent on the church land and monthly expenses.Ananias and Clarette, who have three girls aged seven, five and seven months, have a vision to plant a Vineyard church in each of Burundi’s 17 provinces.  They already have contacts in Ngozi and Kayanza provinces and are preparing a small team of leaders to plant churches.

How you could help

Bujumbura Vineyard is looking for land as its their current contract will expire in a year. Members believe it is time to have a secure property and not pay increasing rents.
