Muraho!

Hello! Lisa and I have had a busy past few days...Thursday we vistited the homes of 18 of our AOH kids around Kigali getting video, interviews, updates, and meeting families and care takers. We went non-stop from 8am to 6pm walking in and out of villages and driving all over the city! It was physically and emotinally draining but a truly awesome experience to see the faces of the kids as we entered their homes. We even surprised one boy by showing up at his school! I wish I could tell the stories about our experiences at each one of our visits but we will have to bring those back and share in person...there were so many! Today we went to the market to buy rice and beans to hand out to the children and their families tomorrow at the AOH office. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again and getting to hang out with the kids. Monday and Tuesday of next week we will hit the road again to visit the AOH kids in the more rural areas of Rwanda. God never fails to give us the strength and protection we need to serve Him here. Please pray that we will persevere in this and that our time will continue to be fruitful here in Rwanda. There is an overwhelming amount of need and it is difficult to not get discouraged so please also pray that we will be able to be the hands and feet of Christ the best that we can. We are trusting Him to lead us throughout this trip and are incredibly thankful for the prayers and words of support from home. More to come!
