I can’t say enough for how well our team worked together.
The first day we were in Rwanda we went to the Genocide Memorial. I can’t even imagine what the people went through. After being there for a while it got hard for me to even read or watch the videos because I was so emotional about what had taken place. It made me feel sick to my stomach. It was a good thing though, because it helped me to understand what the people of Rwanda are still living and dealing with today…Read On…
A verse that has been more than true about this trip is Matthew 18:20: “Where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them.” This country is incredible. The culture is…Read On…
Umutima wanjye Uruzuye. In Kinyarwanda that means “my heart is full”. Regardless of the tongue, God is doing immeasurably more than I could ask or imagine…Read On…

Fear is something that still exists in the hearts of Rwandans today even though the country is stable and safe. I began to pray that the people we meet in Rwanda would simply experience the peace of Jesus—that every fear, every doubt, and every worry would be covered by the blood of Jesus and removed from their lives. As I began to pray this, I felt the Lord confronting me about my own fears. How can I effectively….Read On…
I originally had an entire different blog post written and ready to send off to Charlie, but I couldn’t press the send button. I had a whole lot to say as usual… it was so much longer than what this one will be. It was clever, funny in all of the right spots, and had just enough Bible verses to make it an official missions trip blog. But it was all wrong….Read On…
