Dear Friends,
With excitement and joy in my heart, I am writing to tell
you about an amazing opportunity coming up in my life. In July of this year, I will be traveling
with a team of friends and leaders from St. Patrick’s Church in Lexington, KY
to Kibungo, Rwanda. We will be focused
on training local pastors, participating in prayer ministry, helping with
various service needs in the community, and providing training for women and
their social workers at a local women’s center.
My time in Rwanda will be focused on working with a women’s center and
teaching about peer mentoring, discipleship, and practical skills for the women
there. We will also have opportunities
to build relationships with pastors, families, and friends in the area.
Among those we will be spending time with include local
pastors who oversee 8-10 local congregations, women seeking lifeskills
development and relational ministry, and families who have dealt with the
national tragedy and impacts of the 1994 Genocide. Through the pastors, women and other leaders
we will be spending time with, we will have the opportunity to directly and
indirectly impact over 60,000 people.
I am inviting you to prayerfully consider joining in this
mission in two ways:
·
Prayer: I am looking for a team of prayers who
will lift up this opportunity daily.
·
Finances: In order to participate in this
experience, I will need to raise $3000.00 by the beginning of April. This amount covers airfare, lodging, food,
and in-country transportation.
If you feel led to participate in this ministry in any way, please comment or send me an email.
