Though not very far from Bangui, to get to the Grace Brethren Church of Cité de la Paix one travels through paths, not roads, and those paths travel mostly through gardens.  Cité de la Paix is a truly rural church located not all that far from the city of Bangui. 

This church has had a heart for orphans long before PHC’s Hand in Hand came along, but HnH was able to help them do what they already had in their heart to do and do it a whole lot better.  The pastor of their partner church, Pastor Clancy Cruise of the Marysville GBC (Ohio, USA) visited the school in October 2009 and in November (2009) the Marysville church is sending two representatives from their church to spend time with their sister African church.

Together the Cité de la Paix and Marysville churches worked together to build three classrooms for their school, which will grow to three schools next year (2010-11).
