"But be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2

It’s been a busy week thus far!  One of the highlights for me was teaching yesterday morning.  I taught these leaders about worldviews—what is a worldview, what is a Biblical worldview, and why do worldviews matter.  They had never heard about worldviews before I started to teach, but they were quickly engaged and asking questions about the material.  Through the course of the lesson, the leaders admitted that their congregations do not have a Biblical worldview; they wondered how they should change this.  One astounding fact about the genocide is that 90% or more of Rwandans claimed to be Christian.  All the leaders agreed that if these Christians had actually held a Biblical worldview, the genocide would not have happened.  In learning about worldviews, these leaders gained a deeper understanding of how the Bible should transform their beliefs, as well as their actions.  It’s a joy to see them understand deeper truths and to know that these leaders will take the lesson and teach it to their congregations and other church leaders.

The last two nights have been so much fun, as we spent more time with the church leaders who are staying at the house with us this week.  Last night, the church leaders sang and danced for us, and then had Ben and I join.  I loved this time of worship; I did not need to know the words to appreciate the praise these leaders were lifting up to the Lord.  With huge smiles, they certainly displayed the joy of the Lord.  Tonight, we pulled out one of the soccer balls that Ben brought with him, and we played soccer with the church leaders.  I love soccer, and I loved playing with them.  I am looking forward to playing again tomorrow night with the leaders, as well as next week with the kids in the refugee camps.

Sidenote: As I write this, I can hear a recording of today's lesson being played as the church leaders fall asleep!
So much more I could talk about, but Ben will share more tomorrow.

So blessed and learning so much!

Alison

God continues to wake me up each morning between 2 and 3 so that I can pray for all of you as you start your day. I am so thankful for the work that God is doing through all of you.
