Marie Grace Uwambajimana* – Rwanda
Area Director
Marie Grace learned how to pray from her mother who was a Christian. She made the decision to let Jesus lead her life at 10 years old. In secondary school, a Young Life club caught her attention, and she wanted to see what was going on. Marie Grace loved that they were teaching the word of God and this reaffirmed a calling she had to lead youth when she got older. She later started a club at the university where she was studying. Dan, her area director, was a mentor to her. Marie Grace continued to grow in her faith and also rise in leadership. Today she is an area director for a high school ministry and a neighborhood ministry and has faithfully recruited many leaders to be able to reach more teenagers with the message of Jesus.
