I’m finally able to embrace the fact that I’m going home. I’ve been so reluctant to leave, but the insistence of reality is hard to overcome. I’m absolutely certain this is only the start of a larger mission. We’ve merely laid a foundation of relationships and set expectations for how PEACE will work with the local ICC going forward. My heart has been touched in profound and irreversible ways and I’m certain of God’s leading to return — it’s only a matter of time! Meantime, I invite you to walk slowly with me, talk softly with me, pray in emphatic thanksgiving with me, embrace the beauty of silent togetherness with me, and you too will experience a bit of the wonder of Rwanda.

Eph 4:13

Bittersweet – “Almost” describes this day – it had to end, but ended sacred!!!

Thank you God for this incredible experience – for the awesome land and people you created in Rwanda, and for the courage you gave me to answer your call! We went to teach, but we received far more then we gave! It truly is a blessing to have been a part of this team and experience. Thank you Lord! Can’t wait to go back!

My prayer is that our experience in Rwanda, the lessons we learned, the relationships we built and the growth we have experienced will stay with us forever. As a team we talked about trying to be intentional about loving others well and being as selfless as we can – a lesson we saw daily through our Rwandan friends. I give God the glory for all that took place these last two weeks.

Now back in the middle of my normal routine, I find myself day-dreaming a lot about what our team experienced, in relationships, learning’s, growth and just ‘Life’ in general. Excitement does not capture my heart’s adoration for my team’s sacrifice and service for the greater good, God’s Church in Rwanda! I am looking forward to going back sometime soon; God willing!
