Isaie in Kigali

Kigali, Rwanda

This week, Aaron is in Rwanda to serve our partners in the Association of Rwandan Baptist Churches (AEBR) with the Guardians of Hope (GOH) and Children of Hope (COH) programs.

Isaie Gakwerere, Guardians of Hope Project Manager

We have had the great pleasure of serving with Isaie who is now entering his second year as the Guardians of Hope project manager for the AEBR. He is very encouraged by the progress of many of the GOH groups as they care for HIV and AIDS orphans throughout Rwanda. Over the past month, he has been very involved in distributing health kits for caregivers within the 29 Guardians projects which he manages. Isaie's deep spiritual commitment, his joyful spirit, and unflagging optimism make his leadership one of great encouragement with the churches and groups he serves.

Isaie with his fiance, Laurence

Today after work, I had the joy of walking with Isaie to meet his beautiful-bride-to-be Kabatesi Laurence. They have been friends since they first met in secondary school back in 1998 in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, near the Tanzania border. Since finishing school and college, both Isaie and Laurence moved to the capital city of Kigali where they are both now serving with the AEBR. They will be married in their home province on July 23rd this summer.

In Prayer

Please uphold Isaie and Laurence in your prayers as they continue to serve their church and community in such a humble and selfless way. Also remember them as they plan their wedding and prepare for marriage!
