'Bout That Time!!


Agggg! We leave for Rwanda in two weeks! I know I speak for Kristen too when I say...we are BEYOND excited! Seeing our dear friend Esron in the States this afternoon only made me more thrilled to be going back to my home away from home, The Land of A Thousand Hills! So things you can pray for...

Travel mercies!
That all our luggage makes it!
That Kristen and I will be spiritually strong as we prepare for the journey ahead.
For our physical health!
and for the beautiful children of God we will be serving, that their hearts and minds will be open and accepting to the gospel!

Thank you all so much for your prayers of support, you are the true missionaries... Kristen and I are merely the hands and feet. You will be in our hearts and on our minds as we travel. We love you!

:) With the peace of God,
Mel

Hi: Thanks for the note. I'm so-o-o-o happy you are able and willing to return to the work in Rwanda. I'm keeping you in my prayers. It's a wonderful opportunity. Take care. Love, Aunt Karen

Melissa,
You’re going and being obedient to the Lord’s call for missions will be such a blessing to the people. May all your preparations prepare you for the unimagined? As a sister in Christ I stand commitment to pray for you on the trip. I truly believe that we can never be fully prepared for the work of His Kingdom. So I pray for open hearts of the people of Rwanda and for your hearts to be open to His Spirit. May your work bring Christ the highest glory?
2 Thes.2: 16-17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
