My friend, Victoria........

As final preparations for the May 26 trip to Rwanda are in full swing, boxes of Partner donated shopping bags, scarves, ties and other supplies are still being delivered by the postman. The IRM ministry partners continue to be so generous in their prayer support and giving of funds and supplies.

Let me introduce you to one of IRM's local ministry partners from New Life Church.


Victoria & Arlene
Thanks to Victoria's father, James, for taking this photo last Sunday at church.

Victoria has such a huge passion for helping IRM put God's written Word into the hands of the Rwandan people. Frequently on Sundays this young girl, with her bright smile, finds me at church to place another zip lock baggie filled with money into my hands. She then informs me that she has sold some of her handmade bookmarks, had a yard sale or done some other task to raise more money for Bibles. Sometimes it is a family effort for Victoria as her sister,
Elizabeth, also helps.

I appreciate so very much each person who uses their gifting and talents to make up IRM's Ministry Partner home team.
"Thank You"


Final preparations are going well and things are getting marked off my "make sure you don't forget" list. Suitcases have been weighed and re-weighed, at 48.5 - 49 lbs., to make sure they are within the airline 50 lb. weight limit.

Your continued prayers are appreciated. Please go to the web site .... www.newlifeirm.org .... and down load our itinerary as a prayer guide.

8 days and counting..........
Arlene
