Mobile Family
March 10, 2011 By
Mobile Family is the largest and oldest program among the Xtra mile programs. Mobile Family is a group of people who are committed to be the family to the orphans who do not have family. Being a part of that group we learn to have compassion and to care about what God cares about.
Around the country of Rwanda there are thousands of orphans who are alone. People in Xtra Mile are aware that God has blessed and enabled us to be there for others, he has especially blessed those of us who are genocide orphans to know what to be alone is like; therefore we try to do whatever is needed to be a blessing to other people.
How great it is, to see orphans visiting and comforting other fellow orphans!
Pray with us that the mobile family would become a movement not just a program. We believe that this is one of the most effective way to reach out to people. After all God so loved the world that he didn’t set up a committee or a program; He sent us his Son. Let’s do the same…

N`itsinda rigizwe n`abantu batandukanye biyemeza kuba umuryango umwe n`abana b`impfubyi batagira umuryango, bityo bakiyemeza kujya kubasura mu turere dutandukanye. Uyu murimo akenshi ntiworoshye kubera ko bisaba ubwitange, ubushake bwo kuwukora umuntu adategeraje igihembo cy`amafaranga cyangwa ibindi bintu bifatika.

Education Program

The education program has been really an
Is the program that started last year (2010), in which orphans get an opportunity to get the university studies. Many of the orphans would not have the chance to get the high education because of the situation in which they studied the high school. To be involved in the education program means more than an opportunity to get an education, it is an opportunity to have community and family. Since we started the program, the most important success that we can account, is to share the burden of being a blessings to orphans and even to the world. Through the community so many from the Education Program have become examples and blessings to others. We are thankful for what God has done to make this possible, having genocide orphans wanting to have the same agenda as Jesus and to care for what God cares about is a miracle.
All the time we are looking for other people who may be interested to support this program because we always have many demands.
Mobile Family

Mobile Family is the biggest program among the Xtra mile programs. The Mobile Family is a group of people who are committed to be the family to the orphans who do not have family. To be in such a group has a cost which is simply to be like Jesus. That is to be compassionate and care for what God cares for.
Around the country of Rwanda there are thousands of orphans who need some one to visit and comfort them. People in the Xtra Mile are aware that God has blessed every one to do that. Also, most people in the Xtra Mile know what to be alone is like; therefore we try to do whatever is needed to be a blessing to other people.
How great, to see the orphans visiting and comforting other fellow orphans!
The typical trip from the past few weeks has involved an overnight (or multiple nights) stay in someone’s house, some form of tangible blessing (building a fence, or garden, etc…), followed by a fellowship where the Word is shared in small groups, orphans succeding in school are rewarded with an Xtra Mile T-shirt, and we encourage them to form their own community that functions as a family centered around Jesus and the simple values of XM (Love, Trusting in God, Sharing, and Patience)
Some time to be in Mobile family asks a cost of being away of our comfort zones. Some times it means walking many kilometers to arrive at the orphans homes. 
We are determined that God didn’t call the orphans of Rwanda to go find the Church but that he called us, his people, his hands and his feet to go and find them.
Community

The Xtra Mile Community;
The idea to form the Xtra Mile community came mainly for those with no family to get a family. The community meets twice a week. One meeting is on Friday evening and the other one is on Saturday during the day.
The purpose is beyond ordinary meetings, but a family gathering. Every first Saturday of the month we share a meal.
The community accounts around 30 people who are divided into 4 groups. Either bible study or other kinds of works are done in those small groups.
Since the community started, there are many problems that have been solved, not only the problems of the community but some from other people that Xtra Mile works with.
Many issues are being solved, for instance issues like how to assist someone who is sick or someone who is going to get married; are solved in from the community. Also as a community of young people there is much time for fun.
Through this community, God has touched many people’s hearts. It was a dream for some of them to find a community where they would feel that they are free to share from their hearts.
We are hoping to start the same communities everywhere that Xtra Mile ministries has connections with orphans. Because we are aware that God is using it to get many people’s hearts.
It is difficult to deny what God is doing in the life of these young people who had lost hope for the future. God is using the simple way of community to reach and show his love to people.
