Goodbyes, Reflection and an Impactful Gift

I have a deep sense of gratitude for each and every person who has visited Rwanda and Bishop Theo over the years. With each new person who visits, it’s one more person cultivating the relationship which allows our team to be welcomed with open arms, warm hugs and lots of love.

The Ripple Effects of Human Connection

To stay connected is a need not only in this community but especially in remote villages we had a chance to visit. The outreach is growing and I am so encouraged and uplifted serving with our local and Rwandan teams. Every day we are in the field, I can see how this experience has brought out a servant's heart and beautiful qualities in each of us.

A Day of Highs and Lows - Our Team Visits The Child Hope Center and the Genocide Museum

Today was one of the most challenging days I won’t soon forget. It started out like any other day, breakfast with the team and chatter about the possibilities the day will bring. Little did I know that it would be a day of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

God’s Love Doesn’t Need to be Spoken in Order to be Felt - Our Team’s First Day in Kigali

It doesn’t matter who has what or how much. Without the love of Christ to share with others, we are all in poverty. There is a gift that has been given to us today that costs nothing. I’m excited to keep learning how to be a better servant this week from our new friends. It’s really as simple as that.
