It has been another interesting day for us as a team. A day of the unexpected and unplanned as well as  a day of learning and sharing with our brothers and sisters here in Rwanda. Here are few snippets.

Interrupted and missed meal times - but porridge comes to the rescue.
Team's resilience was tested by the fluid nature of the day's programme, but we're still smiling!
Covering the cathedral benches with banana fibre cards as they were recounted and recoded. An annual event as part of our visits.
Distributing hand-knitted cardigans to pastor's new-born babies. Smiling wives and bemused babies.
Managing to finish off the interviews with all the pastors. Relief all round and much to pray for.
A realisation of how much we take everyday things for granted and the respect we have for our brothers and sisters here who keep going under very trying circumstances.
Important and helpful teaching for husbands and wives.


Please pray for:
Pastors and wives as they return to their parishes, that they will have been encoursged and strengthened as a result fo their time with us here.
The plans for new buildings and site developments.
The many pastors and wives and their families who struggle with everyday challenges - food, water, education and employment.

Give thanks for:
The many new believers who have been baptised in the last year.
For the increase in numbers attending church services.
A growing commitment within congregations to serve the Lord.
