Only 10 more sleeps!

On Saturday I received an email from Rwanda telling me "we count the days and there is still 17 days until you arrive in Rwanda". If they are excited, imagine that I am even more so!

Sue and I hit the front page of the local Heathcote newspaper last week and there has been quite a bit of interest in our little town including generous gifts to take with us. 'Fashion on High' donated lots of new clothing for us to take to bless some people in Rwanda.  We had fun with Carol and Skye packing it into a large overnight bag.

Another exciting addition to our trip is a family from central Victoria that is going to help build a house for the family of one of the teachers at the Youth for Christ school.  God has made some wonderful connections for us to help get this building project going. A few weeks ago we met with Elliot and Sarah from YGAP and David from sanejo.org

And the family leaves on Wednesday on their big adventure. I hope to update you with photos  when Sue and I visit them in the village.

Off to Rwanda very soon

So I’m off to Rwanda again!  It's four years since Mal and I headed off into the unknown with Jesus and had such a wonderful time with the YFC family there. So much has changed since 2007 and now I am on my own. But now I'm ready for adventure again. 
So many good things have happened in recent months and I’m really excited about the journey God has been taking me on. I guess I'm quite adventurous and that’s a gift from Him. And this is the next part of my life’s adventure. Off to Rwanda with Sue.

We leave Australia on 7^th July and travel to Nairobi, Kenya where we’ll be spending 3 days with the Youth for Christ ‘family’ there. We’ll get a glimpse of Kenya and refresh a bit after the long journey before going on to Kigali. If our flight is on time we should arrive at about 5.40 pm Rwanda time, just in time to see the beautiful 'land of a thousand hills' before dark.
