Exciting times......

Ministry Partners and Friends,

These are exciting times for IRM and for the ministry God has called us to in Rwanda, Africa.

Village crusade

God is expanding the ministry of IRM and every new step of opportunity that God opens is an exciting new adventure.

As I write this blog, I hold in my hands the IRM Rwanda Constitution. It's a very interesting document written in French, English and Kinyarwanda. The document has been signed by 17 Rwanda pastors and partners. It has also been signed and approved by 5 pastors from New Life Foursquare Church and myself. Next week it will be sent to Rwanda and our Operations Supervisor, Alfred Mupenzi will take it to the government for approval. The government will then recognize IRM as an NGO, a private, non-government organization doing ministry. We currently have an office that is "manned" by a Rwandan pastor and it is open for villagers to come in and pray.

As God leads, the current plan is to take 2 teams in June/July and as I work on those plans, I cannot help but get excited.

"Thank You" for your faithfulness in praying. Please, continue to pray for:

• Team members for the two teams
• God's financial provision for IRM and each team member
• Continued wisdom for the IRM leadership and Rwanda volunteer staff

LORD, ..... all that we have accomplished you have done for us. Isa.26:12b

"THANK YOU"

Ministry Partners and Friends,

"THANK YOU"

To everyone who donated to the "Bibles for Rwanda" project. God's written Word is a powerful tool in bringing many to saving knowledge in Jesus Christ and it allows the ones who receive them to grow in their relationship with Him.

That none would be lost,

2010 was an wonderful year for IRM and as I continue to reflect on some of our ministry opportunities I can only LOUDLY quote.....

Isa.26:12 LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

"Thank you , Jesus for allowing IRM to be your ambassador in Rwanda".

It's New Year's day and this holiday season has truly been a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior and to reflect on how God's hand continues to guide this ministry. I am humbled by the support of our continued faithful partners and the magnitude in which our ministry is growing both stateside and in Rwanda. I can only offer God praise for what He has done in 2010 and what he is going to do in 2011!!!

A bright new year of God given opportunities......to watch Him work.....to give Him praise.....to allow Him to "stretch" me even more.....to choose obedience.....to tell Him "yes, Lord, here am I.....
to give Him praise.........to give Him praise.....
to give Him praise.....to........
