From Bellevue to Kigali | Jean McAllister

Jean McAllister moved to Rwanda after going on a short-term mission trip with First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue in 2004.

In June 2005, the Session commissioned Jean for full time mission work. She now lives in Kigali and works with African Enterprise (AE) in three areas: women and children at risk, educational support for street children and orphans, and teaching/preaching.

After learning Kinyarwanda, Jean built a network of local associations serving women who have experienced the horrors of genocide and war. Women learn to care for themselves and their children with encouragement from Jean and grow in trusting God.
