"His calling, our privilege...serving others in Christ."




We are back! Wow, what an absolutely incredible trip it was! As we reflect upon the last few weeks, it is so exciting to see how God's hand was at work in all that Lisa and I were able to accomplish through Africa Anchor of Hope in Rwanda. We visited over 60 children in their homes around the city and ALL OVER the countryside, took tons of pictures and interviews, talked with multiple parents and caretakers, worked in the Anchor office, developed stronger relationships with our in country staff, visited many dear friends and returned with a fire and strong desire to pursue our passion for loving the children of this beautiful country.





As always saying goodbye was rough. We are not sure when we will be able to return next but we rest in the promise that the Lord does know and that He is not through with either of us yet! I have personally been overwhelmed by His grace in working out every detail of the trip and in how much our friends and family have supported us. Very soon Lisa and I will get our pictures up on Facebook and AOH is working on a new website where we can post more photos and videos. Please stay tuned for the exciting things that will be happening this year with AOH. If you feel led to support one of these precious kids you see or just to the ministry in general please contact Lisa or myself. We would also love the opportunity to meet with you one on one to share stories and details of the trip and more about this organization. Again, thank you for your love for us but more so for the precious children of Rwanda.
