Day 2: Pills, Pills, and more Pills
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 eventually….but I can definitely say that was a new experience
After a couple hours of sleep…we got up with the rest of the team and enjoyed a quick breakfast. Then we went to the pharmacy. We had pre-ordered and paid for all the medications in the country…because we couldn’t bring any in to the country. We ordered nearly $2,500 worth of medications. We had half a van full of pills. Thousands upon thousands of meds. So we had to take this over to the mission house and sort them all out into little envelopes that can be handed out to guests. We have amoxyiclyn, ibuprofen, cough syrup, worm pills, etc.
It has been all day…very tedious and we are all very tired.
We had a small break when we headed to a training meeting. This was very exciting because we got to meet a lot of the volunteers from churches in one of the areas. There were at least 6 different churches represented…and many of them didn’t know each other or had never worked together before. It was AWESOME….becase the vision of many churches working together to serve their neighbors is coming together.
We have had some organizational set-backs (a building that we thought we would have we don’t have, etc)….but it will all work out wonderful.
Blessings,
Milan

Did 13,200 inches of tape cover the med bags? Miss you guys!! Sending my love and prayers. All Glory to God! May the love of Jesus shine through you, the team and churches of Kigali this week.

Hey Milan, remember that with God there’s no such thing as a set-back. He knew that this building wouldn’t work out before you were born. I wonder what He has in store for you guys. Can’t wait to find out!!

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.” Prov.16:3
I am proud of each one of you for answering Gods call to serve in Rwanda. Keep up the good work and you will be rewarded in His time. “My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” Rev. 22:12. May Christ refresh you and restore you each and every night.
I will be praying for Christ light to shine bright as you give of your time to let His name be known. Tell Pam P from Myrtle Beach her sister in Christ is praying for her.
