It all started with a Vision to begin a free adult literacy class under the mango tree. Then ROWAN put action behind that vision and saw it come to pass 2 years ago – with over 100 adult students learning how to read and write for the first time.
Then it happened. It went above and beyond our initial dream. An adult student named Patrick had a vision to start a church, but he needed to learn how to read and write first. He sat in our class for the last two years, and today ROWAN staff can sit in his thriving church under the stick frame and praise God! They may not have bricks and cement, but they have hope, education and dreams of reaching their villages. And they are doing just that.
The Co-Founder Kelsey brought her parents to this church to see all that is happening, and walked away with a goat for a gift! The congregation pulled together their own funds to bless us with the highest form of a gift. Kelsey was left speechless. Pastor Patrick said,
“This Church is here because of ROWAN. Thank you for investing in my life. Now I can invest into my community!”
