March Mission Team Arrived!

Greetings to our True Vineyard Family!

Just a note to say that the mission team arrived in Rwanda safely. Apparently, they hit the ground running! There's a lot to do in a short period of time.

For those of you who haven't yet heard, TVM acquired a stunning and spacious piece of land to lease close to our office ( and to the famous Volcanoes National Park!) for our merino sheep to safely graze and multiply. This land is almost ready to go, but a secure fence is necessary before the sheep can move onto their new home!

Typically, livestock fencing in Rwanda consists of low-to-the-ground rock walls. However, since we have one of the purest flocks of merino sheep in Rwanda, we need to keep our valuable sheep safe from natural predators or theft. This is why TVM is bringing a small group of incredible people to erect a secure chain link fence around our leased property. Typically, our mission team members work alongside Rwandans on construction projects. We purchase as many materials as possible locally, in order to support local Rwandan construction organizations and small businesses. Every time a construction project occurs in Rwanda, it means a large cohort of ready and able Rwandans have an opportunity to work and bring home well earned pay from their long day of construction or sales.

Please pray for Diana, Jill, Steve, Jeff, and Chas as they work hard to serve TVM and the people of Rwanda.

Today, everyone is going to meet all the wonderful women of TVM - all 28 of them if you can believe it! They are in for a joyful celebration!

We will keep you posted and hopefully the mission team will soon be sharing photos of their work.
