Scott’s Reflections

"Equip a Church Leader" group celebrate their completion of "A Study of Luke"
I have been given a new name: Mugisha! It means "blessed," and it couldn't be more fitting because that is exactly what I am after spending a week sharing God's Word with these remarkable church leaders. We concluded the study of Luke on Friday around lunch time.  Before they departed we prayed and shared one last meal together. We posed for pictures and shared contact information. Some had as much as two days of travel ahead of them and were eager to get started on their way home. But we all shared that awkward feeling of wishing the fellowship could continue, but knowing it was time to part. As I stepped into the house I saw Frank in a discussion with two ladies: one the owner of the house where we stayed this week and the other the wife of Theophile, the Rwanda director of Rwanda Challenge. Frank had brought them seeds for sweet corn and was instructing them on how to plant it. I think they were somewhat disappointed that he had only brought them about 50 seeds to share among four ladies. But he explained to them that if their first planting was successful, it would yield many more seeds for planting (and hopefully for Frank some sweet corn to eat on his next trip). Upon reflection I realize that the conversation I witnessed between Frank and the ladies is a fitting illustration of exactly why Frank and I have come and why Rwanda Challenge exists. The pastors have returned home to face anew the challenges of their respective ministries. Our hope and prayer is that they will take the instruction they have received in God's Word and plant it deep in their own hearts and the hearts of the people they teach. In turn may the Lord see a harvest of souls for His kingdom.
