Build a relationship with God - Commit in service to God - Introduce others to God
I traveled to Rwanda on March 9, 2020 with my oldest daughter. She has been working as a nurse at one of the top medical centers in the USA, in their cardiac unit. My daughter had been to Rwanda exactly a year earlier, volunteering to serve as a nurse with a group from a college …
The drive to Remera from the home of my host was about 20 minutes. When I walked into the church, I was immediately greeted by two men who had traveled there from DRC Congo. Both were dressed in nice suits with ties. Their faces were beaming with a big smile as we shook hands. They …
The driver’s license of my host had expired. So, starting with my second full day in Rwanda, I would be our driver. The constant movement of people and bicycles on the sides of the road, along with motorbikes weaving in and out of traffic around us, made me feel like I was in the middle …
I would spend two full days with a group of 13 people at a church located in Kibagabaga. It was located in a tall building off of a busy road. We climbed several flights of stairs to reach the church. The view from the church window was pretty awesome. We experienced a joyous worship service …
On Saturday, March 14 the Rwandan government announced that all places of worship were to be closed for the next 14 days due to the coronavirus threat. I had been scheduled to teach at a church on Sunday morning and then do disciple training on Sunday afternoon. All-day disciple training had also been scheduled at …
Because of coronavirus, we were forbidden from this point on to meet in churches. As a workaround, we found a pastor who arranged for me to teach in a house. He had managed to gather 17 hungry students who desired to hear the Word of God. I would meet them from 9:00 am until 3:00 …
It was late afternoon on Wednesday, March 18th and I was dog tired. I had just completed my third day in a row of disciple training with this third group. For each of the three days, I taught from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm or beyond, with very short breaks. As soon as we arrived …
On Friday, March 29, 2019 I flew to the city of Nairobi in Kenya, Africa. I arranged a very ambitious itinerary where I would be teaching God’s Word for 16 of the 17 days I would be there, at 9 different locations. God far and above exceeded all of my expectations. This is the first …
I touched down in Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday at 7:00 pm their time. Three wonderful Christian believers greeted me when I walked out of the airport. They escorted me to my hotel. I struggled to sleep through the night (a combination of excessive street noise, people talking out loud and jet lag). But I managed …
Early Monday morning we made the 4 ½ hour journey to Segera Mission. As we traveled, I witnessed many sheep, goat and cow herders. There were also an abundance of sheep, goats and cows grazing near the road with no owner in sight. My driver assured me that each of these ‘stray’ animals did have …
