Sitting on a bus in Kenya my nostrals were filled with that very familiar B.O. that can only be found on this continent, Nigel says it is a warm inviting smell, but I am not so sure I agree with him on that one. Warm, and Inviting is how I would describe being back in Rwanda. Someone told us the other day that the first time you meet someone in Africa you are their guest and the second time you are their friend and the 3rd time you are their Brother. So it is such a great feeling coming to a place where I am a friend. It feels incredible to be walking on this familiar red soil that has the power to change lives. Kenya was beautiful and after only a day we got on a bus to Uganda and then here to the peace of Rwanda. (32 hours on a bus later)We got to Gahini Rwanda on Saturday night and were woken early Sunday morning being told that we were doing Sunday School. I have been waiting for a year for this!! The kids were in a huge circle and we jumped into the middle of it and sang songs and laughed. Kenton did the story of Noah getting all the kids to act
as animals and again everyone laughed so deeply. It all just seemed to fall into place so fast. From the moment we have arrived we have felt almost as if we are visiting old relatives and as if the work here is second nature. Things seem to be falling into place around us and we daily see the ripples of a hand larger than ours shifting the waters. Thanks for your prayers we need them desparately for if we do things on our own we are destined to fail. Blessings, Dan

I love you guys, continue to seek God, our heavenly Father, and trust Him with all you have! I strongly feel and know in my heart that this is only the beginning! God has so much more in store that He wants to do, and I am excited for when we all have a chance to see it unravel! God's grace is a gift. I pray that God will speak to each of your hearts, and unify you in strength. Be blessed brothers, you are all amazing and we serve a great God! :) have a good day!
Hey guys! You are never far from our thoughts and always in our prayers! I wish I could be there with you cuz part of my heart will always be in Africa too!
I had a great visit with Kalena the other night and she can't wait to be out there to start working with you guys. We miss you like crazy, but continue doing the work that God has set out for you to do and He will bless you so much for choosing to do His work so willingly.
Love Cindy, Brent, Mesele and Abinet

Hey guys! We are so excited for what is happening in Rwawanda, -God has started a good work, and you get to see it unfold! Stay in the shelter of the most High (Ps 91),then you will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, And the promises go on to the end of the Ps. Love you guys! and were praying! Rick and Caron
Hey guys, just so you know...I am an expert at picking out fake sleeping pictures, and that top one is definitely a fake sleeping picture.
