Sister Connection Testimonials
From our Sponsors
“From the moment I first heard about the desperate plight of these dear Burundian widows, my heart instantly melted with compassion. I knew it was God's will that I reach out and connect to one of these sisters. The letters of thanks I receive from my sister, Elene, are priceless. I was also privileged in September 2006 to visit Burundi with Sister Connection and to meet Elene in person! I’ve never felt such love and gratitude from another as I did when I hugged Elene. It is an honor to be part of this blessed ministry.”

From Our Widows (written in letters to sponsors)
“Thank you for supporting me. I was considered by the community as ‘nobody’ because of my poverty, but now I feel I am a person again. With your help, I was able to buy soap. Now I am clean. I am very happy that God has given me a person to help me! Everyone sees how happy I am because I love smiling about the way God has remembered me. You have really pulled me from the pit. My children and I used to sleep hungry, but now I can buy food to eat. I will also buy a bed and for the first time in my life I will sleep on a bed! You have wiped my tears and clothed me with joy!”
--No. 155 Leoncie, sponsored by a man in Indianapolis.
“Only God can reward you for the good things you do for me. I bought food for my children and they were praising and thanking God, asking Him to bless you. They look very nice, as I was able to buy them new school uniforms!”
