In January 2017 the Development Coordinator, Pastor Timothee Niyonkuru of the Christian Life Assembly in Bujumbura, Burundi made contact with us through Facebook.  This initial contact developed into Pastor Timothee becoming our liaison for the partnership in ministry we now have in Burundi.  As Pastor Timothee shared the vision for their ministry he expressed their desire to build a bible college for training pastors and workers in ministry.  We already had a Manthano School of Ministry open in Malawi and Uganda, so I shared the information about our school with Pastor Timothy.  Their ministry looked over all that I had sent them and with great hope for the future of their people, Pastor Timothee was chosen to lead them in the development of a Manthano School of Ministries, Bujumbura, Burundi.  They opened their school on April 14, 2018.
