Hello once again! This past Sunday(27th) was the mark of the first day of our last week here in Rwanda, Africa! It's exciting to see so much progress that the Lord has allowed us to be a part of. Nonetheless it will be different and interesting to see how things are when we arrive back home, hopefully on the 4th of December(God willing if the flights all work out properly. Unless the Lord has other plans, hah!) We've already experienced a great start to our last week. Sunday was a day that we believe we won't forget. God used us to touch families in power was, by God's strength through us(Philippians 4:13, "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!") It is true in our lives that we can do all things with God's power through us. We had the opportunity to talk about the Good News and the free gift of salvation with groups of people in a near by village just outside Kayonsa. It is a blessing from God that we were welcomed so kindly into these peoples homes! With talking, praying and getting to know the families we were able to build relationships and to see excitement grow about our Lord! We were also able to lead approx. 38 people to Christ this day!!!! Halleluiah!!! Amen and all praise and glory belongs to God our Rock! We believe there was a big celebration in Heaven that day! It has been a great three weeks here and we are excited to be used in the next week of hospital, camp, and village ministry! Thank you so much for all the support and prayer! God bless our friends and family!!! We are brothers and sisters in Christ! On Saturday we were once again able to meet up with Eddie and Bonita Mwanavanessa for a lunch at their place, along with many good conversations and cookies!! We had an interesting experience that morning. It was Rwanda's monthly community service day. And no one has stores open or drives anywhere from 8:00am - 11:00am. Everyone gets together and cleans up the city. We were driving through Kigali to Eddie's place and got stopped by the police(it was already after eight), after 40 minutes of trying to understand why we were being stopped we thought we got a pass through, so we could continue to our destination only 3km away. Little did we know we were going to meet up with Eddie(he was doing work), and we were being forced to do community service! It was a good laugh for us! So that being, there's a short update from your brothers and sisters in Christ, the Pioneers! God bless!
