CBM Rwanda

Visiting with our friends Bruno and Kathleen, Pierre & Louise, 

Laura Lee, Caleb, Darrell, and Bronwyn in Kigali, Rwanda

This past week, Erica and I travelled to Kigali, Rwanda, to connect with our CBM colleagues and participate in the 2013 planning for the Guardians of Hope. We were excited to spend time with our friends Bruno and Kathleen Soucy and their friends Pierre and Louise who were visiting from Quebec. We also had a wonderful time getting to know our new team mates Darrell and Laura Lee Bustin and their children. The Bustin family completed their ministry in Indonesia in 2011, and actually flew to Africa for the first time with us this past August when they moved to Rwanda to begin their new work with CBM’s Integral Mission initiatives with the AEBR.

A highlight of our time was getting to meet our friends Isaie and Laurence’s son, Rey. Isaie is the GOH project officer for Rwanda and member of the CBM development team that is working throughout Rwanda in helping local churches live out the hope of the Gospel in word and deed.

Rey was a little tired during both of our visits

but his yawns were as adorable as his smiles!

Please continue to pray for the Soucy and Bustin families, as well as the national team in Rwanda, as they work hand in hand with local churches in empowering communities to overcome poverty in all of its dimensions.
