Ministry Partners,
They're here, they're here, the plane has finally landed and only four hours later than scheduled!!!!
An unusual storm over Kigali prevented the plane from landing as scheduled and a number of planes circled the airport and then were rerouted to another country but then I will let one of the team that was in the plane blog about that.
Thank you Jesus for bringing them safely here.
It was so nice to see their smiling, tired faces and God's blessing in all of it was a safe landing at 11 PM not only for them but for every single piece of luggage.
The storm was unusual and has continued even through this evening with lots of lightning, thunder and a torrential downpour. The nationals say it is very odd to have this kind of weather at this time of year.
This morning we attended the church where Pastor Deo from Prison Fellowship is the pastor. I suggested that Pastor Al preach and as usual he did a wonderful job with 27 receiving God's free gift of salvation. The whole morning was filled with wonderful worship in a style only the Rwandans can do.
After the service Alfred, Blessing and the children joined us for lunch and then left for their home as they had to be back at Moucecore for the IRM "Welcome Dinner" at 5 PM. About 24 old and new ministry partners have been invited and I am so excited to the faces of those who worked with us last year.
The floral bouquet that Alfred and Blessing gave me was on the center of the head table and the tables were decorated with different colors curly ribbon and candy.
It was a very nice evening that ended by taking Communion together led by Pastor Roger.
Tomorrow there are meetings scheduled and the team will go into town to exchange money.
I think they will probably sleep very well tonight.
Praising God for his goodness. Your continued prayers appreciated.
That would be lost,
Arlene
