A Day of Rest

"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." Mark 2:27

God has given us the gift of a day to rest - to cease from our normal labor, just as He modeled in Genesis when He ceased from creating the world.

The team has had very few opportunities on this trip to catch our breath. So, we welcome God's gift of a Sabbath rest today. The morning began with Rwandan coffee and a view of Lake Kivu. That, in itself, is a special gift. We have no real schedule today, although we plan to take a boat trip to Peace Island for a time of worship with the team and to reflect on what God has done on this trip. 

Tomorrow we plan to finish the "Three Lessons on the Holy Spirit" with church leaders in the Kiziba Refugee Camp and then to return to Kigali. On Tuesday, Ben, Alison, and I depart Rwanda, hopefully with rested bodies and full hearts. God has blessed us and His Church in Rwanda with many good gifts on this trip.

He is good, all the time,
Frank

I have to admit, I am a little jealous looking at that picture, wishing I were with you. So thankful you are getting to rest today. Praying that God would bless your final day of teaching. Please thank Pastor Theophile and Desire for the huge blessing they are to me and to Rwanda Challenge. I know you are all in good hands!
See you soon,
Myra

Having a hard time sleeping but maybe that's to encourage and be encouraged by this post. Thank you Lord for this team. Please help me to continue to support Rwanda Challenge so that I may be a part of something that will last for all of eternity. Love and joy!
