If you are wondering what "Abana" means it means children. And that has been the major theme of each and every day for the Saddleback Kids Rwanda PEACE Team. Today was no exception as they started off at the Lighthouse PEPE Preschool. PEPE is a church-based preschool program. Bottom line, these sweet 3 & 4 year olds were SO well-behaved and attentive. Honestly, the team had never seen such well-mannered, sweet little kiddos. And they were so cute and smart! I think the team was most impacted by the beautiful combination of education and God's foundation at this preschool. But the team definitely had its impact as the school begged them to come back tomorrow to teach the children more lessons about God and His love.
Did I forget to mention that today was EXTRA special as the team celebrated Ashley Johnson's birthday!?!? They were sure to celebrate in Rwandan style with a cake and a delicious lunch "party" at Sol de Luna. Happy Birthday, Ashley!
And the afternoon brought the same abana the team has been blessed to work with at Christ Gospel Fellowship. Tristan and Alicia stepped it up by taking the lead on today's lesson. They did a spectacular job with the team's support as Maya and Ashley shared their testimonies. Through all of the teaching and lessons the coolest part has been seeing special relationships form between the team and special kiddos. Tomorrow's ministry will take them to a branch of CGF which the team is excited for the new adventure but will miss the friendships they have made at CGF Kimironko.
Pray for continued good health, energy and spirits for the team. Pray for continued strength as their hearts are continually broken by the connections they are forming in the Land of a Thousand Hills. Praise God for the changed lives on the team and throughout Rwanda. Amen!
