February 27

The team in Rwanda is shifting each week. Yesterday David Smith (Trinity Church in Bolton, MA) and myself, Frank Reynolds (Manchester Christian, NH) arrived in Kigali. Tomorrow, Tom Dagley (Community Baptist, Weymouth, MA) along with Christina Davidson and Lisa Aubin (Hope Chapel, Sterling, MA) will depart.

Today we divided into three teams. Neal Davidson preached at Harvest Christian Church in Kinyinya. Tom preached for Harvest Christian in Masaka. David and Frank shared God’s Word at Harvest Christian in Kigali. And then “David danced before the Lord” (see photo).

After lunch, the whole team experienced the Genocide Memorial. It is difficult to explain the contrast between the beauty of worship in Rwanda and then to reflect on the atrocity of genocide. “Lord, may our experience be a sample of the contrast of Rwanda’s past and God transforming the ashes of genocide into the beauty of the forgiveness, mercy, and love of the Rwandan people.

Keep us in your prayers.
