How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

~Romans 10:14&15

There is Something Today in the House of the Lord

Muraho!

Sunday morning we worshipped at the English service at New Life Bible Church. We led the congregation in a song as a part of the service. Sunday afternoon we led a large portion of the youth service. We led the youth in 5 songs, Haley and Alyssa danced a beautiful dance to Jeremy Camp's song "My Desire," Carley shared her testimony, and Tim preached on what it means to be a disciple of God. After that the youth of New Life Bible Church led us in worship, the way young Rwandans do it.

Today we went to the Dream Center and participated in the feeding program for the street children. It was a wonderful time of feeding young boys, playing games with them, and just giving them some of the love that they are so hungry for. We were also able to give all of them new shirts and still have more left to give away later. We were also able to lead the boys in their devotion time with songs, a skit, and James' testimony. This afternoon we spent some time at the Genocide Memorial here in Kigali.

Tomorrow we will go to the school at Kayonza.

Everyone sends their love. Thank you for your prayers, we can already see how God is moving here in Rwanda.

That is fantastic! I'm so excited for you all and the opportunities you have already had to be the hands and feet of Christ. I can't wait to keep hearing about all God is doing in and through you. I'm thinking of and praying for you all daily. Love you guys! (Kara, think you could mess up James' hair a little for me? Thanks!)

Hales and Fouche,
Sounds like the dance was great Haley (Elesa please tell me you got that on video)! Oh, I got my MRI today so no date set for surgery yet but it could be in the next couple days, I'll keep ya posted. Love you and miss you, but am SO excited for you!


On the Rock,

From the Mexico Team:
Hola! We have been praying for you every day and know that you are experiencing some amazing things in Rwanda. We are seeing God move in some powerful ways in LA and now, here, in Mexico. We will have many stories to share and look forward to hearing yours as well.

To Liz: I miss you, and thought about you tonight as I looked up at the stars in the dark Mexican sky - knowing that you are looking at the same stars in the African sky. Mom and I are very proud of you and know that you are discovering things about yourself, and God, through this incredible opportunity. Continue to listen, learn, and lead as God shows you His heart. Be safe and pray for us as well. I am tired, but at the same time so energized as I see what God is doing here. I know you are probably feeling the same way and that makes me feel close to you, even though we are far apart. To think that we are doing the same thing, at the same time, half a world apart, is something truly unique; a special memory that we will treasure in our hearts forever. I love you and can't wait to see you again soon!
Love, Dad
