The Great Langauge of Faith

Many different languages are spoken here in Rwanda. Kinyarwanda is a popular one. There is also French, Swahili and English to mention a few. Despite the language barrier between the team and the families we are visiting and working with we have been able to connect through a language that bridges that divide. From the beautiful smiles we are able to share the language of love. With the singing and dancing we are able to share the language of joy. By working side by side with the famlies that live here in Rwanda we share the language of hope. By praying together we share the language of Jesus. For it is from the language of Jesus that we are able to enjoy the language of love, joy and hope. May you continute to pray with your fellow man and both enjoy and spread that greatest language of all, the language of Jesus. - Tim Colgan

Today, Sunday, the Rwanda team worshiped in a Pentecostal church in a near by village. Before entering we could hear the voice of the congragation as they danced, sang and clapped their hands. Following church, we dedicated a new home to twenty year old man, who is the head of a household of four siblings. After the dedication we attended a celebration with the particular Zoe group and to show us their successful harvest they shared a meal of rice, cassava, goat, turnips and fruit with us. During the celebration we watched an anti-aids group dancing and singing.
