A Unified Mission for Health, Nutrition, and Spiritual Care

RUYIGI, BURUNDI, On Monday, March 23, 2026, a delegation of international partners joined the legal representatives of the Free Methodist Church in Burundi for a strategic visit to the Burenza Health Center. Located in the former Ruyigi Province, the facility serves as a cornerstone of the church’s ongoing commitment to community development and healthcare.

Addressing Crisis through Holistic Care

The visit highlighted the health center’s vital role in the region. Beyond standard clinical services, the delegation observed the church’s robust response to child malnutrition—a critical challenge for local families.

A centerpiece of this effort is the distribution of fortified porridge produced by BUSOMA, the Free Methodist Church’s dedicated industrial unit. By providing targeted nutritional support to vulnerable children, the initiative bridges the gap between emergency medical intervention and long-term wellness.

A Vision for Integrated Ministry

The partnership underscores a shared philosophy of Holistic Ministry. By integrating physical healthcare with spiritual outreach, the Free Methodist Church and its partners demonstrate that true community restoration involves caring for the whole person.

“This project stands as a practical expression of our commitment to the population, ensuring that both physical hunger and spiritual needs are met with equal compassion
