Last Wednesday night Theophile, his wife Miriam, a few friends, and I were able to greet the two teams from Manchester Christian Church at the Kigali airport. After four days of enjoying serving together in Rwanda, we went three different directions on Sunday afternoon. The medical team from MCC remained in Kibuye. They will work at the hospital there until midday on Tuesday when they will rejoin the MCC team in Kigali. The Kigali team is now with Theophile as they teach and meet with several groups of women in the local churches. Stephen, our interpreter, and I traveled to Ruhango to teach the first of eight more groups of church leaders on this trip.
Yes, I hated to say goodbye for now to the two MCC teams. It has been a joy to share with some old friends and meet some new ones. Perhaps the greatest joy was to see those who are here for the first time as they opened their hearts to Rwanda; the people, the beauty of the country, the pain and problems, the smiles, the spiritual hunger, and the Rwandans' open hearts for brothers and sisters in Christ from another culture on the other side of the world.
However, I am here to teach church leaders. Today, Stephen and I began a three-day study on the Holy Spirit with twenty church leaders in the South Province. There is significant confusion among these leaders about the Holy Spirit. I love it when their faces express that they have just discovered some new truth from God's Word.
Goodbye MCC teams ---- Oh, the joy of serving God's church leaders in Rwanda!
