Rwanda Homes : While Rwandese homes can be as broad in type as found in the U.S. these pictured here represent the bulk of homes. Most have no electricity or running water. We are blessed to have both.

CCR : Christ's Church in Rwanda (CCR) held its first public service on March 4, 2007. CCR received its provisional registration in June 2006. CCR's registration was gained through the efforts of Dave and Jana Jenkins who were sent by the Quail Springs Church of Christ in June 2005 after 11 years in Uganda followed by one-year at Oklahoma Christian University. This non-denominational, English speaking church sits in one of Kigali's most beautiful communities that was built as part of the government's Vision 2020.

Bible School : These children of Rwanda are in Holly's Bible class of 15-25 children ages 3-8. A second class of 9-13 year olds is also taught at CCR. The children get so excited at things American children push aside as boring fairly quickly. Seeing faces glow as they discover a crayon or a sticker for the first time are such a joy.

KICS PICS : While I have lots of fabulous KICS Pics I can't post them due to privacy issues. Hopefully, some of these distant shots give some perspective of this fabulous international Christian school located in Kigali. Currently KICS has around 85 students from over 20 countries. Our girls absolutely love KICS.

Mobile Families : "Mobile Families" is a vision of Rwanda genocide survivor and orphan who just completed his B.A. in Economics. Charles dream is for every child without a parent to have someone that gives them a sense of family. Charles relates a story around the age of 12 just after the genocide when he got some of the highest marks in his class and excitedly headed for home after school to tell his family. His joy quickly became sadness as he remembered that there was no home and no one to rejoice in his grades with him. Charles pressed on to succeed without immediate family and wants others to see that you can still succeed in life in spite of the trials and struggles in your life. He wants to mobilize many with a similar story to his so that those across the country today without hope can gain some through seeing what can be. Charles coordinated two events with groups of genocide survivors. One was a group of 15-22 year olds who he sees as the biggest threat to a prosperous future for his country and children if they don't find hope quickly. The second group was a set of 100 orphans living in 24 "child headed homes". In each case he shared his story and encouraged. He also gathered basic food items to bless them. Charles is an inspiration to many. Charles honored Alexis and Grace at one of the events as they hosted a benefit birthday party where they collected supplies for two child headed households, each with three children, instead of having guests of the party bring birthday gifts. They gathered shoes, clothes, blankets, sheets, mattresses, books, and soccer balls.

Not in the USA : There are so many things that we see each day here in Rwanda where we find ourselves with jaws dropped. Some are sad, some are funny, and many make us thankful. There are many things I hope to take pictures of that to this point I haven't gotten the courage to do. I will continue to add to this gallery.

Akagera Animals : Akagera is Rwanda's national game reserve where one can find a large number of wild animals. This is a place that makes one stand in awe at what God has created. Rwanda's claim as the place God comes to sleep at night is understood when you see its beauty.
