Today was one of our last days in Rwanda! :( We have such mixed emotions but know these last days are some of the most precious here. This afternoon Esron, Wayne, Lisa and I visited an E Free church plant in Ruhengeri and a man named Pastor Peter. We were able to chat with a few church members, including two primary school teachers. They work at a government school across the street and one has 35 kids in her class!! Agh! Lisa and I presented the church with Bible and prayed together. It is only about a year old and they are facing many struggles.
Next we got a really cool opportunity to visit the police academy of Rwanda and chat with the commander there. He is a Christian and we were able to visit and pray with him. It was really exciting to see a high raking government official who fears the Lord and who wants to pray for his country. Lisa and I left a few Bibles for a few of the cadets. Esron is hoping this will be the beginning of more partnerships within the church.
Tomorrow we pack, head to AOH to say bye to the kids, and then out to eat at our favorite pizza place Sole Luna with Esron and his family. Please be praying for safe travel as we begin our journey home on Wednesday.
Imana igue umagisha (God bless you!)
