Rwanda support

Dear Family and Friends,

As I am sure you remember about one year ago I went to the country of Rwanda in Africa. The experience of that mission not only formed a deeper passion in me for the continent of Africa, but also quite literally changed my life in many ways. Recently I was asked by a contact there to return to do some work and ministering. Upon discussion and prayer I have decided to return to Rwanda this May for one month.

On this trip I will be taking a friend, Maegan Rossow, along with me and together we will be working in orphanages, teaching English to the natives, visiting schools, and ministering in the streets and several churches. There are also plans of holding a revival for the teenagers in the capital city, Kigali.

Africa has given so much to me in my time spent there and I can only hope to go and give back. Rwanda is a country that is still hurting from the devastating genocide that took place sixteen years ago. The AIDS epidemic is massacring the people of Rwanda from the young to the old in rapid rates and therefore the number of orphans is growing daily. We can help this country. Not only is that financially, but it is hope, it is love, it is the gospel. I am excited about this trip because it gives me the opportunity to minister to these people as a whole, mind, body, and spirit.
I believe this trip to be one of the hardest and yet greatest tasks I will complete in my lifetime and I cannot do it alone. The cost of this trip will be $3,500 a piece for my friend and I. We are asking for you to help us to go and help this nation. Please prayerfully consider donating towards this mission, any amount of money will help. Also, please continually lift us in prayer as this will be a month without the modern conveniences of America along with very intense work emotionally and physically.

We are being sent out with the blessing of Pastors Mike and Laurie Glazener of Cornerstone Church in Liberty, TX. You can make tax deductible donations of $100 or more by mailing checks to Cornerstone Church, please write Rwanda in the memo line.
