goal:
our objective is to supply theology books to the new creation ministries theology school in kigali, rwanda. we aim to donate reference and theology books to the school at no cost to them. currently they have a small library that consists of a small quantity of books.
tim brubaker, who is a missionary and teacher at the school, explains its objective:
"our goal is to offer the only multi-denomination theological degree program in english in rwanda. one of the pieces in this master-puzzle is the library.
"the library serves multiple purposes: (1) research and study; (2) accreditation. even before the degree program is started, pastors and students from other schools will be using the library (there is no other significant english library in the area). for accreditation purposes, we will need approximately 6,000 titles. we are hoping, as well, to include a few computers in the library. but, for now, we need to begin by focusing on books!"
get involved:
- purchase a 'top 50' most needed book from amazon.com
- check out our blog for weekly updates, news and events
currently, the rwanda theology library project consists of several church members who are committed to meeting monthly to plan and take needed steps towards attaining the above goals. we have the need for additional team members. if you are interested in joining us, please email rtlpcow@gmail.com with your info.
there is also a pressing need for people with experience in the following:
- shipping/logistics (especially to africa)
- book recommendations by theology teachers, pastors, missionaries, etc.
- grant writing
- publishing house connections, book discounts
- organization/cataloging skills
- event planning, fund raising experience
more help will be needed in the future as this project unfolds. thanks and keep this project in your prayers!
God bless you,
the rwanda theological library project team
