The Beginning of our Journey



On February 20 we set out on a World Relief Journey to Rwanda to understand the depths of suffering, the power of forgiveness and the joy of service that our Rwandan sisters and brothers experience. Bound together by our desire to seek a deeper understanding of God’s love for the oppressed, the vulnerable and the poor, we five ladies from Connecticut, Virginia and Michigan seek also to learn about God’s desire for each of us to be an active part of His plans for change.






Highlights of our journey will include visits to see: an essential oils business run with the help of widows and orphans; grass-roots efforts by volunteers to prevent malnutrition, HIV/AIDS and death; Churches empowering their congregations to serve the most vulnerable; and children leaders who are actively sharing “Good News Life Lessons” at weekly Kid’s Clubs! Please join us on this journey and add comments of encouragement below!

We will be staying at the World Relief Guest House with WR Rwanda Country Director Phil Smith and his wife, Becca, baby Iranzi and Umosombi!
