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…

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.
