Round 2
I preached again last night. Here is the run down of what I spoke:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using the Holy Spirit to Expand the Kingdom
What are the churches intentions?
To grow in size?
To get better things or equipment?
To simply get rewards for you only?
Is your relationship with God all about coming to church and receiving from Him?
He sent His Holy Spirit because He loves us and we need to use what He has given us to reach the lost, and reach the people who don’t know Him or who need his...
You know you are in Rwanda when…
-the locals are shocked to find out that you have hair on your legs and arms
-kids try to flick off your freckles
-your hair becomes a playground
-the locals tell you to be ready to leave by 8 and you don’t leave until 10:30
-you become a life size Barbie doll for entertainment
– you hear people yelling “muzungu” everywhere you go
– the locals let you preach just because you are a visitor
– a crowd of kids constantly follows you and hold your hands
– you sleep under a mosquito net that makes you feel like a princess because it resembles a castle...

WOW! What a week! So much has happened this week, and I am only ready for more! God is moving in mighty ways.
We had the opportunity to go to a traditional Rwandan Wedding, which was pretty interesting. We went to what they call an Introduction. This was the first of three, and it lasted about 4 hours.

This dowry consisted of 8 cows, so the whole song was describing the names and...
Meet my team! :D
This blog is to introduce you to my team that I am spending the whole month with!
This is Sharel.
She is a powerful woman of God from Texas. She is on the World Race Exposure trip with me, so we are here for only a month. She is an RA at her university, and she has been to Africa before. One thing that amazes me about Sharel is her generous spirit. She gave me a pair of shorts just because I needed some for that day. She randomly says she loves everybody, and she is full of powerful and insightful words for any conversation. I love her dearly, and I am learning so much from...
God uses the few
"God uses those who are weak in nature and few in number to make his name famous." (a quote I heard in a sermon and really stuck with me)
Sunday July 15, 2012 I was asked to preach to Victory church in Kabuga, Kigali, Rwanda. I prayed about what I was going to tell this African church since I have never even preached in any church before.
The Lord put in on my heart to tell the church to be bold in preaching the gospel to those around them and let them know they didn't have to travel the world like us to make a difference and to be missionaries.
The Lord also put it on...
