BUILD
It is finished! After several months of planning and building, I present to you the finished product at Karubabi Harvest School. A basketball and volleyball court to rival any in the country (there are NO indoor courts in all of Burundi). A HUGE ‘thank you’ to those who contributed to this project (First MB Church in Wichita, KS and Cornerstone Community Church in Virgil, Ontario and many others). The kids were shocked when they returned this month for the start of school.
Beginning 
End
There are many dreams for this space. Dreams of bringing a community together. Dreams to make Karubabi a destination. Dreams of sharing a bigger message to all who pass through this space. A space where kids can play and learn. A space where teachers and coaches can teach lessons on teamwork, setting goals, and competition. A space where parents can trust the environment.
Sovereign Lord, we ask You to use this space. A safe place to play is so important in the life of a child. May it speak of Your goodness. May it fulfill Your mission. Thank You for providing for the children and community of Karubabi.
A place to gather.
