Africa New Life
Africa New Life exists to transform lives and communities through Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Acts of Compassion.
In partnership with Africa New Life Ministries (ANLM), Hope City Church is serving vulnerable children and their families, and supporting Christ-centered leadership in Rwanda.
We have seen first-hand the hope that is dawning as a result of the intentional, gospel-centered missions efforts of ANLM.
Through our partnership with ANLM, we are honored to be part of God’s BIG plan for raising up Christ-centered leadership in this central-east African country.
Child Sponsorship
At Africa New Life, we believe that access to education is the key to helping children break out of poverty. For that reason, educational sponsorship is the heart of our ministry. Today, more than 10,000 students are sponsored across Rwanda. Africa New Life has two top-priority goals for each student we work with: to help them complete high school or a vocational equivalent and to bring them into a loving relationship with and knowledge of Christ.
Sponsorship commitments help families by assisting them with school fees, which allows them to pay for other expenses. Sponsored students receive a school uniform and scholastic materials. They are encouraged to attend monthly Center Days, where they enjoy a meal, play games, and hear about Christ, as well as an annual Christian camp. Sponsorship additionally covers basic medical needs that fall outside of government-sponsored insurance, so sponsored students have greater access to health care.
500 IN FOUR
Our Willamette and Hope City campuses have adopted the community of Nyamirama, and have committed to sponsoring 500 children there in the next 4 years. We invite you to join our efforts to ensure this community is thriving by 2025!
You have the opportunity to give high priority items to your sponsored student and their family through the ANLM Online Store. Use the button below to order a gift today!
