Last Two Weeks

A lot has happened since my last post. We did make it to Muhanga on Tuesday, May 10. We left home at 6 a.m. to find the road still blocked. So, we headed south and turned west over a long, dusty, and bumpy road (they call it an African message). A little over five hours later (normally a 45 minute trip) we arrived. The church leaders were there and ready to begin. We made a few adjustments and completed the two-day study on the same day. They were thankful.

While the floods were an inconvenience for us, I think about fifty people died in the north. One of our church leaders lost everything, but he was here last week ready to study.

The next three days we taught the Women of Hope. Most have a position in the government, but also serve in their local churches. We shared with them several years ago and they kept asking us to come back and teach more.

Women of Hope

Marceline has thirteen children.
She had seven girls and one boy - then she had triplets and twins (all boys).

After returning from Muhanga, we picked up Gene Andrews from the airport on Friday evening. We rested on Saturday and I preached on Sunday. Then we attended the nicest wedding reception I have experienced in Rwanda (and most of my experiences in the U.S).

Now, that's a cake!

About an hour of the reception was traditional Rwandan dances.

Last week we studied Acts with the "Equip a Church Leader" group. This week we are studying Genesis with the younger group, "Equip the Next Generation." I am constantly impressed with their ability and desire to know the Bible.

​God continues to bless.

Sounds like a busy couple of days! I hope you are feeling more energized as the trips go on. Will be praying for those effected by the flooding.

Love you! See you soon!
