Rwanda
July 9, 2010 by miker
Me, Teresa Sherwood, our Director of Missions, and Epiphany, the Local Zoe Ministry Representative, standing in front of the Rwanda Airport.
Epiphany met us there and we headed into the capital city of Kigali. We are spending the night at the Iris guest house lodge, will visit the Genocide Museum in the morning, and then head out to connect with the orphans that we will be working with in the Giving Hope program the next 3 years. Rwanda is tropical and beautiful, lush and green, and packed full of people. Pray our Church together can make a difference in this amazing part of the world. We are also looking forward to the Secondary School Dedication on Tuesday. Pray for me, Teresa, Debbie, Donnie, Kathy, Amy, Barbara , Jan, and the children we hope to impact in the next few years. God is good giving us this opportunity as we represent Christ and you in this special season of Hope. (By the way, if you ever get a chance to eat papaya, don’t, the pineapple tasted good though.)
Praises for a safe arrival!
Prayers for everyone continue throughout your mission.
Papaya-eehhh…but if you get a chance to taste Mango jelly it’s GREAT! The Mango fruit is a little tart but the jelly is fine.
We know you are making a difference and God is with you.
Mike and Theresa,
Please tell Epiphany we said “Hello”! I think of her often and the stories she told us a few years ago. I also think of and pray for her and all of the other folks helping the children of ZOE. The thought that it could be my own children who needed help is never far from my thoughts.
Have fun!
stay safe,
Kimberly Stratman
