The Anglican Church of Burundi
Burundi Sunday was on the 20th October
Every year we hold a ‘Burundi Sunday’ where our focus is on this small country in Central Africa, links we have had since the 1975. On this day we also try to raise money for a project they have asked us to help with.
This year, we are going to raise money for the Sub-Parish of Buterere to buy doors & windows for a newly built church, this is the second time we have supported this church as we helped in providing the foundations some years ago.
This year we have raised an incredible £4,732.60

Pray for Burundi
Could you join us in prayer for Burundi? This is why…
Burundi is in dire straits right now…
- Prices have shot up so much that even someone with a decent job may only be able to afford to eat one meal per day.
- Rents are skyrocketing so people are becoming homeless.
- Fuel remains in short supply, so people and goods have no transport.
- Burundi is rock bottom of the Global Hunger Index, with experts only projecting things will get worse.
But beyond that, this is a crucial year, because there will be three Government and regional elections. Obviously elections are a decisive moment for any nation, but with Burundi’s history it can be a time that tensions rise.
Your prayers for Burundi are highly appreciated
Our links with Burundi
St Mark’s partnership with Burundi started in 1975 with a commitment to pray for the Church and the country.
We continue that link today in various ways but particularly through our support of two parishes, St Mark’s, Ngagara and St Mark’s, Gahosha.
St Mark’s, Gahosha in Makamba
St Mark’s, Ngagara in Bujumbura

We hope you are well and are able to experience God’s love and peace as we start this advent season.
We are writing with a special prayer request. Last week, my little brother Zeph was diagnosed with leukaemia. It came as a real shock and has been/is a lot to process. He is in hospital with my parents and has started to receive treatment.
We ask that you will join us in prayer for:
- Zeph’s health and healing.
- The doctor’s and medical staff, that God will guide their hands and decisions as they treat Zeph.
- For my parents, that they will feel comforted and supported and have peace at this challenging time.
- For my other siblings and their families, for God’s peace and comfort.
- For David and I as we are far away. For God’s peace and wisdom.
We are trusting God and have already seen His love and faithfulness at this hard time. Please feel free to share this prayer request with others, with discretion.
Thank you, we especially appreciate and value your prayer and support at this challenging time.
