Kids Small Groups

We apologize for the delay in a new post. The next day (which I believe was Tuesday last) the Internet was not longer working at our hotel. We hoped it would return the next day, but still no luck. But, now we are in Kibuye and we have Internet...very slow Internet, but connection nonetheless.

Here's a brief update as we are winding down a long day of travel and ministry:
* Tuesday - completed Children's Ministry Training with the Wheeler, Ruiz & Brase family knocking it out of the park. The leaders working with children were inspired and challenged to reach out to the next generation in a whole new way. We also visited a moving genocide memorial at a church; team members walked away changed with a whole new perspective of Rwanda and the people. Finally, the Ruiz family boldly led the night's Bible study message at the church.
* Wednesday - the day began divided between men and women. The men led based upon materials from "The Herd" Men's Ministry. The men were empowered and eager to start their own "Herd" here in Rwanda. Meanwhile, the women looked at what a Proverbs 31 woman is all about. A woman called Rita shared her testimony during the time that truly exemplified Proverbs 31. We all walked away better men and women (boys and girls) because of our time. Then the afternoon was jam-packed with relationship building as we did home visits, spent time with the Mutabazi's and then had several Rwandan friends and family over to our hotel for dinner. A great final day to our ministry in Kigali.
* TODAY (Thursday) - we travelled to Kibuye for the bulk of today (western region of Rwanda). After a quick respite and checking in, we were off to the soccer fields of Bugesera where we practiced alongside the PEACE Football Club teams. It was truly a blast to see the organization and fun had by the boys.

Well, off to bed and hopefully will update again soon.
