Joshua teaches church leaders about biblical community and evangelism.
Innocent, the driver, and Stephen, the interpreter, picked me up at 7 a.m. on Friday so we could arrive in Rusozi in the East Province in time to teach that morning. The plan was for Theophile and me to travel on Thursday afternoon so we could wake up at the teaching location on Friday morning. Plans were changed due to the death of Theophile's father. I attended the funeral with Theophile on Thursday, but the funeral continues through Sunday afternoon.
Rusozi is the first location on this trip where "the six" will assist in the teaching. Theophile met with six church leaders at the beginning of September for the specific purpose of preparing them to teach on this trip. We intend for them to share in the teaching, apply the teaching in their local church, and then to join Theophile in teaching church leaders in neighboring countries. Joshua, one of "the six," was successful in bringing nineteen church leaders together for two days of teaching. So we taught on Friday and Saturday and then I preached this morning.
Ntwarane Anastase, President of the Church Forum in the Kirehe District (like a county) participated in the two days of training and attended the worship service this morning with his wife and baby. Yesterday, after experiencing the two days of teaching, Anastase invited Rwanda Challenge to return and teach fifty church leaders from many denominations. These church leaders continually express their thanks that someone would come to the east to bless them
Even though the plans for Rusozi changed, God did bless and Joshua did a good job. This coming week Theophile and I will conclude the study of Genesis with twenty plus church leaders. Then we will continue the "Rwanda Tour 2013" with 'the six" for the remainder of October.
God is blessing,
Frank

Joshua, Neema, and four of their seven children. On our way back to Kigali they asked me to pray in their home. I prayed for their marriage, their family, and their home.
