The Mbanda's greeted us at the airport with smiling faces and we followed them to their home in Kigali which is somewhat like a palace out of the Garden of Eden. The grass and trees are a thick, lush green the flowers of purple, red, yellow, and orange are bright and blooming. The house was built for missionaries and it is more of a blessing than any of us could have asked for. We have good food, hot water, and comfortable beds to sleep in. For some, this may not sound like the kind of 'roughing it' a mission trip sometimes sounds like. But we know that the real heart of missions is taking the gospel out to the world, and sharing the abundance of God's love with the nations. Because we have a home to come to at night, we have agreed as a team that we are called to go even deeper...to give even more in every event we have planned. The most amazing thing about our team is that we believe prayer is the most effective weapon for God's Kingdom we can use on this trip. We have come together many times in prayer to ask that great things happen, and God's will be done through us. Thus far, we have been incredibly busy loving on the children, and helping in any way we can. But we have been blessed more than we could ever imagine in return, and we know we still have so much ahead of us. I will give more details about our adventures here soon...again, I apologize for how long it has taken to get the team blog going and I hope you continue to check in and stay updated to what we're doing. Thank you for your support and prayers!
