I’m finally finding the time to take a deep breath, relax and tell you, “Thanks!” The trip was a blur of constant work. After some settling in to home I am ready to pass on some thoughts.
The 10 days in Africa were beyond words or expression. We saw God work in so very many ways. [...]
Hello Everyone,
It brings great joy to know so many of you have been praying for us and following the blog. Sometimes we take for granted the fact that God answers prayer everyday…..YOU MUST KNOW HE IS answering your prayers!!!
So here it is…..Starting July 14th and going through July 18th the Compassion Connect team (made [...]
Here it is…the final day of clinics. We were still a split crew…but only three went to the dream center. We were prepared for a big day at the stadium…knowing it was the last day. We really didn’t want to turn people away….so we were all going to work hard to do our best with [...]
This was an incredible day….probably one of the most incredible days of our lives. We all said afterwards…..how often to all these things happen in one day in a life.
We started out the day with a split group again. 2 clinics, 2 teams, 2 districts of the city. At the stadium it was apparent that [...]
There was so much weighing on the team about Thursday morning. We had become a well oiled machine in two days of work at the Dream Center. We love each other (Rwandans and Americans together) we didn’t want to split up. The Rwandans were sad that some of us had to leave the Dream Center [...]

So we showed up at the Dream Center by 7am….there were nearly 100 people waiting in a tent (they should’ve been waiting in a line) Anyhow….we have learned quickly that Rwandans don’t do lines….they do mass huddles and [...]
Wow…what a day….it is now 9:30pm and it feels like midnight….hopefully the day can be recalled.
From early on the team split up. Mona, Laurice, and Becky traveled very far away with a team from World Vision to visit Laurice’s sponsor child. They were gone the entire day…but they have seen places that none of the [...]
We started off our beautiful day with a great breakfast. Then we headed up to New Life Bible (the site of one of our clinics) for church. Everyone in the group wanted to go to the non-english service, so that we could be a part of the cultural worship.
It was a wonderful service….of course Africans [...]
Gary and I had an exciting night of walking alone on a kigali highway at 2am looking for our van driver while being guided by a guy who spoke no english….that started the day of right :) We had to get to the airport to pick up another compassion connect team member…we finally made their [...]
