Volunteers' Highlight by Kelsey

In Rowan, volunteers play an important role. More so when they are from the community. Two
very important men of God, Christopher and John, have both grown up in Mawanga and are very active in the local church under Pastor Paul.

When Paul began ROWAN back in 2004, the two men immediately came alongside to support him. They have given their time, love, resources and energy to serving the widows and orphans in the community.

They are at the front lines of projects, keeping track of administration and assisting Pastor Paul in whatever he does. As ROWAN expands, these men will be crucial in this ministry as their hearts are pure as gold.

Currently working as head volunteers for the ROWAN network, they divide duties of visiting the widows and orphans, overseeing the ROWAN office, and records keeping. Even in the toughest of
circumstances, you would hardly see them without a smile, with the joy of the Lord - their source of strength.

They love the Lord.
