A young Lutheran church, sent to make disciples of all nations, starting in Burundi.
Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church in Burundi (HELCB) was formally established in March 2017. Its main operations are in the country’s two capital cities: Bujumbura, the economic capital, and Gitega, the political capital.
From those two centres the church has grown quickly, and it has already spread to all five of Burundi’s current provinces.
