Kids Small Groups

What a cool experience for the SK 2012 Rwanda Team today as they participated in umuganda - the monthly Saturday in which nobody in the community works and everybody instead gathers together to serve/clean-up the community as needed.  The team supported the Free Methodist Church's project in cleaning up the church's chairs.  It's incredible to see the care they put into every facet; even, you'll notice, people came dressed in their nice clothes, not grubbies like we would.

After that, the team refueled back at the guest house with lunch.  And then they were off for another very unique experience - church concert.  With more than 200 in attendance, the team sang, danced and praised God.  Jeremy shared a message on the true heart of worship.  To support his points, Dillon danced (yes, he "mastered" a traditional Rwandan dance) and Ashley shared John 3:16 in Kinyarwandan.  The Rwandans LOVED every moment as they saw how invested the team was in becoming Rwandans themselves.


Now they're back at the guesthouse eating dinner and preparing for tomorrow.  They will wrap up their weekend in Kibuye with church services at the Free Methodist Church.  Jeremy & Dave will be tagteaming for the sermon while the remainder of the team oversees the Children's Ministry. 

Pray for the team's wisdom so God can speak directly through them to the Free Methodist congregation.  Also, pray for their endurance as they approach the end of their ministry in Rwanda.  They are growing weary (in a great way) and God can/will use these final few days to open their hearts and minds to His plans.  Finally, pray for their travels safely back to Kigali as they'll head eastward in the afternoon after church services and lunch.
