Church dedication

Here’s a snippet of the building dedication ceremony.  The preacher is Pastor Emma, Director of Operations for ANLM and the interpreter is Pastor Rogers, youth pastor of New Life Bible Church in Kigali.  Pastor Frances, pastor of New Life Bible Church Kageyo, is also there, along with our team leader Pastor Tom Joyce. 

I wanted to show this video because Pastor Emma has some direct words of thanks to many of you who couldn’t join us, but were part of our team through your prayers and financial support.  You really made this happen, and we, as well as the people of Kageyo, are eternally thankful-

Cement assembly line

By the end of the week, we had gotten smarter, and formed an assembly line to transport the cement to the place where we were pouring.  This video was shot on the last day, as we’re pouring the foundation for what will become the kitchen for the school in Kageyo.  This was our last pouring of the week, and I think you can tell there’s a little pep in our step as we can see the finish line.

Video! Our start to the work day

Some video for you to enjoy, thanks to our videographer Jim.  Here’s a sampling of the worship we were able to enjoy at the start of each workday.

Kageyo Day 5, Safari, Return Home

Sorry for the radio silence everyone.  The last few days have been pretty busy, and time to blog was hard to comeby.  I’m sitting here in the ANLM guest house in Kigali, awaiting our ride to church, so let me quickly update you on the last few days.

Kageyo Day 4

Muraho!  As a break from the monotonous updates of building benches and hauling/smashing concrete, I’d like to talk about a special time we had this afternoon. 

Kageyo Day 3

Wow, hard to believe that our time in Kageyo is over halfway completed.  Thanks for your many prayers for our safety and relief from sore muscles.
