Ready, set, go

We are off (Damian Peasley is my partner) .  We fly out of Des Moines at least. Chicago is quick. Then a while in Newark.  Tye to Brussels and finally to Kigali - Friday evening.  They are 7 hours ahead of us. 

I'm hoping to buy a case of Bibles while there for the pastors.  It's a long story but Bibles have really gone up in price. 

Another interesting twist is that a week ago the govejernment decided to close religious buildings that weren't safe (mosques and churches).. Safe meaning a variety of things from structure, to permits, to qualified pastors.  Our leader there told us his church and many others in the area did not meet on Sunday.  I know nothing of the politics and will not guess.  We are continuing and can't wait to get to training.

I'm so thankful for this chance to share my love of studying God's Word with people from a continent I love.
