Women of Hope

1/28/2014

1 Comment

 
A group of women (most work in the government) had a growing concern for the needs in their district (like a county) which the government could not address. A few met initially and now they have grown to over sixty women. They call the group "Women of Hope." They have concerns for the women, children, marriages, and the churches in their district.

The "Women of Hope" desire healthy homes and churches for Rwanda. So the president asked Rwanda Challenge to come and teach for two days on "The Five Purposes of the Church." Most Rwandan churches have a shallow understanding of worship, evangelism, biblical community, discipleship, and ministry. On the last day they were encouraged and asked us to come back and teach them the "Three Lessons on the Holy Spirit." After the closing, four remained behind, including the mayor, and shared in greater depth issues in the homes and churches and how they are making a difference. It was a growing time for me in understanding Rwanda. These women not only have influence in the government, but they are committed followers of Jesus who have influence in their local churches. I pray that God will use the "Women of Hope" and Rwanda Challenge to make a difference in Rwanda for His glory.
