Burundi has suffered from war and conflict

Your town or village becomes a very dangerous place to live

During conflict people can struggle to feed their families

People are often forced to leave their homes

Living in a conflict zone is a scary experience

“They will beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning hooks.” - Isaiah 2:4

This is David, he is 6 years old

Fines, 18 Pierre, 15 Simon, 10 Jessica, 12 Chantal, 2mths Moise, 4 David, 6 Elias Albine David’sfamily

With their land back, David’s mum and dad are able to grow different crops

Our money helps to build brighter futures for people

It’s just a WEE BOX but it changes lives!

Lord Jesus, We pray for all the people who work for peace around the world, including those in Burundi. May we join their journey, walking beside them and supporting them. May we also be peacemakers in our own lives. Bless the work of SCIAF and help us to remember our neighbours, both near and far. Amen
