At True Vineyard Ministries, we look with great hope to the New Year for exciting growth opportunities in Rwanda. In January, Diana will be heading to Rwanda with a small mission team for the purpose of caring for our flock of sheep and hopefully welcoming even more women into the TVM family. With the increase of more sheep, we will have more wool for the TVM women to spin, and this will allow us to partner with widow sponsors to hire more Rwandan widows.
This December, there are opportunities for you to make a real difference in Rwanda through a year-end gift. Currently, our most urgent need is to acquire 150 merino sheep in the next year to grow our flock. Sheep have become an extremely important source of livelihood to Rwandan community members and the widows at the TVM women’s group. Here’s how your generosity can make a difference this year in Rwanda:
1) Give a gift of hope this Christmas by purchasing one sheep, a flock of sheep, or a herd of sheep for a loved one! One sheep costs $100, one flock costs $300, and a herd costs $1000. Through your gift of one or many sheep, there will be an increase of wool for the TVM widow’s group to spin into yarn and sell here in the United States. The greater wool supply we have in Rwanda, the more chances there are for changed lives in Rwanda, which leads us to our next gift opportunity. The gift recipient will receive a card in their honor like the one below:

2) You also have the opportunity to sponsor a widow for a three-month gift of $105, a six-month gift of $210, and an annual gift of $420. Each widow typically has a minimum of three children under her care and often has adopted children living with her. Through your commitment of a widow sponsorship, you are helping us provide her with a salary, health insurance, and counseling opportunities which empower her to rise up out of poverty and become a leader of change in her own community.
Visit our online store to purchase sheep or sign up to be a widow sponsor, or you can mail a check to the following address:

Together, we can make a big step forward in the lives of Rwanda’s poorest through empowerment, job creation, and skill-building. This Christmas season we encourage you to be generous and give hope to those who desperately need it. We thank you for all your support.
Have a blessed and peaceful Christmas and holiday season!
