Burundi experienced many (civil) wars in recent decades. Many fled. This is how Br Innocent Nimpagaritse ended up in the Netherlands. He received residence status and through contacts in the AZC became a member of CGK Culemborg.

From the Netherlands, he set up an orphan project for the civil war-torn region he himself comes from. In doing so, he received help from deputies of diaconate, among others.

Through the orphanage, Br Nimpagaritse came into contact with the EPRB and so the connection with our churches was established. The request for help from Burundi was clear: please come and help us be a good Reformed church. To that request, Mission responded positively in 2010.
