Father Longin, a Catholic priest, joined other church leaders in forming a World Relief Church Empowerment Zone. One of their first acts together was to pool resources among themselves through a Savings For Life (SFL) group account. When Father Longin’s own father passed away, his ministry colleagues– from many other Christian traditions and denominations– came to visit and grieve with him, bringing a financial love offering to him from their SFL benevolent fund. This example of church unity overcoming cultural and historic hostilities, gives Rwandan pastors and their communities much hope for the future.
