It has been two weeks since we returned form Rwanda. While it is good to be home as we missed our family and friends (not to mention a properly working blow dryer!), there are many things we miss about Rwanda and the people there - the beautiful green hills, the passion of Rwandan believers for sharing Christ,their exuberant worship, their capacity to trust God for great things,and thier open hearts and easy hospitality. And all of us miss the many new friends we made in Rwanda. In particular, we miss Goreth or as we know her, Gogo. Gogo was our guide and interpreter and was with us every day all day long. She handled logistics for us as well as interpreted whenever needed, whether with a woman at the Dream Center or when one of us was speaking to a group. She is amazing in many ways and we learned much from our time with her. She trusts God unreservedly and has enormous compassion for others. Personally, of all I miss in Rwanda, I miss my time with my new Rwandan sister and friend, Gogo, the most.
After the holidays, our team would like to invite you to join us on Saturday, January 14 for A Taste of Rwanda. We will share pictures and stories from our trip as well as some tea and coffee that we brought back with us. To find out more, visit the Immanuel Website at www.immanuelbible.net.
Thank you for the many prayers and all the support.
