Right now I am sitting in the living room of our host home and “Let It Be” by the Beatles is playing on the radio in Kabuga, Rwanda while I type my blogs and drink tea. Ah Jesus loves me so much. J
Rwanda is an amazing place. It has only been about five days, and I am already wrecked for this place. God is doing some indescribable things in me.
There is this thing that the World Race practices which is called feedback. Basically every night, your team meets to give each other encouragement. Sometimes there is constructive criticism, but only concerning ministry. It has become my favorite part of the trip. My team consists of 7 girls, so it can get girly fast. Haha. These girls are incredible in the way they live their life in love and faith. They are ALL amazing women of God who shine with the brightest glory of God that I have ever seen in women their age. They told me that I am very spiritually mature. I am so blessed to be able to work with these women for the next month. I am learning so much from them already!
The ministry opportunities that I have done so far are helping out at the church’s school for the elementary age children, and ministering at 3 churches so far.
The churches here are like turbo Pentecostal churches. Haha. The services last about 4 hours, with multiple singers, multiple speakers, and awesome dancing. We went to a tent revival the other night, and yesterday (Sunday) we went to Victory Church (Pastor John’s church) and The Healing Place (a church in Kigali). The pastor last night prophesied over me during the service. He said that I have a spirit of prophets on me, and I have not stepped into it because of fear, and that this month in Rwanda is going to empower me to step into that. He was right on target saying that, because I have always felt called to preach. Glory!
I am so in awe of how magnified God’s “wonder-working power” is over here in Africa. I can hear him so clear over here. Maybe it’s because I have no iphone to distract me. Maybe it’s because I have taken this step of obedience to come over here. I don’t really know what it is, but I feel certain special anointing over here that is like nothing I have ever felt. There is such a fresh and real feeling in the air, and I am dwelling in it fully. My ear is completely tuned to His voice. I am expectant of what else God is going to do over here, although I don’t know if it can get better than this!
