Monday 28/6/10 in Rwanda

Muraho, to our All STARS Rwanda 2010 Friends & Family -

We have completed our FULL day of ministry and it was absolutely incredible. We started the morning at the PEACE Plan Offices where we met with Pastor Straton, Jean-Pierre, Eric & Zelda. What a blessing this team and their fellow teammates are to the country of Rwanda. We are so very thankful for them, their friendship, and their support in making these two weeks possible.

The afternoon was then filled with ministry to children's ministry leaders. There were more than 40 leaders in attendance, eager to learn about how to minister to the children of their church. They were led in the morning by the Christ Gospel Fellowship Children's Ministry team to first understand the importance of children--see them as Jesus sees them. Then our team expanded on the training/teaching as we introduced the 5 purposes and then specifically Worship & Belong. Both teams did an incredible job teaching and it was inspiring to see how all 24 team members got involved to be a model of God's love and light in Children's Ministry.

Tomorrow we will be completing our Children's Minisry Training as we cover the remaining 5 purposes - Grow, Serve & Share (Bring & Go). As we plan for tomorrow, here are some additional prayer requests:
~ The "Grow" Team of the Wheelers
~ The "Serve" Team of the Ruizs
~ The "Share" Team of the Brases
~ Our visit in the early afternoon to a genocide memorial; may hearts be broken for what breaks God's; may our eyes be opened to what God wants us to see and know.
~ Evening teaching at Bible Study service

Looking forward to updating you all again soon!
