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

We're Here!


We arrived safely here in Kigali a couple of hours ago after a long journey. We slept in strange positions, dined on "airplane delicacies," made new friends from around the world, saw a John Bon Jovi look alike at the airport in Kigali, and all our luggage got here safely. And yes, we're all taking our malaria pills.


Dwight would like to share a thought about a cat, DH, and his mother, but the connection between those three things has escaped him. Stay tuned for further details...

What an awesome team! Changing the world one word and action at a time. Guard your thoughts, words and actions, there are eyes watching you that will try to be like you. Pray that the "you" they see is found in scripture after you leave!

Have a great mission
