The day is coming soon when we leave for Rwanda! Could you be praying for us? We really want this time there to be for His glory!
There will be 12 of us in all. Just three are from our home church this time.
We are taking over 8 sewing machines and some wedding dresses! How fun it's been gathering things that would be fit for a bride's special day!
But, even more exciting is the fact that Steve L. is going to present a foundational Bible study cirriculum for consideration by some of the churches there. May the Bride of Christ (the church in a universal sense!) continue to grow and mature, outfitted with the pure Word of God! I hope you won't think that too silly. Read about this in Ephesisans, right!
We were able to purchase Bibles in the Kinyrwandan language also! How grateful we are to all of you who helped us do this! Also, we wish to thank you for your support in getting us fully funded! How we appreciate your love and encouragement!
Now more than anything, we would ask for you to pray. Thank Him for this opportunity to share His love and mercy. Pray that we would all get along together and be good examples of His servant's heart. But more than anything pray that we would clearly, boldly share His Word because that's really the Hope for Rwanda...learning the truths about our Creator, Redeemer, Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm hoping we can send you updates on what we are doing on a daily basis once we are there.
I'll try to write more soon. I'd like to give you more details about some of the projects being planned.
For now, good bye!
Debbie
