Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you guys an update on what ministry looks like here in Rwanda. This month we are staying in Kigali, Rwanda, which is the capital city. Instead of the three to four weeks we usually stay in a place, we have the opportunity to spend 2 months here!
We are busy doing lots of different things in ministry here. My team is currently staying with Pastor Moses and his family. Our ministry looks like preaching at his church on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. We also have the coolest opportunity to preach on the radio on Saturday evenings on a local Christian radio station. During the week, we go to one of the local preschools, where we teach 3-5 year olds. We work on English, math, French, general knowledge, and Bible lessons. We have had the opportunity to experience different things like going to a traditional Rwandan wedding and seeing the memorial of the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
We are about halfway through our time here, and still have about 3 more weeks before moving on to the next country. I have loved our time here in Africa, and can’t believe how incredible it is that we have lived in Africa for 4 months now.
Enjoy these photos of our time in Rwanda so far!
Teaching at Heritage Christian School. Kendell and I taught the top class which were the oldest at the school (5 year olds).
Preaching on the radio at Umcyo community radio in the capital, Kigali.
It’s been 27 years since the 1994 Rwanda genocide, and we were able to visit the memorial of the gardens and museum.

Friday night, we went to a Rwandan dowry ceremony where the grooms family offers the brides family cows. Saturday, we went to the wedding ceremony.
Also, I’d love to know what you guys want to know more about. If you have any questions about ministry, culture, what life is like on the mission field, what God has been teaching/showing me, what’s been the hardest/easiest part, please ask me! I’d love the opportunity to share about what you guys want to know!
