Rwanda Follow-up

Remember my trip to Rwanda last December? You may recall that Robert Mutijima, one of our national leaders in Rwanda organized our training and equipping of 230 pastors and leaders. We'd planned for 150, yet the Lord brought more. Late last month, Robert sent us a report on what the Lord had done through some of the 230 and some others that he trained as well. I thought you might enjoy reading of the fruit of the work:

- 52 trainers trained 11,019 others to use the Evangecube, Plant Churches, or both.
- They distributed 4,150 Evangecubes.
- They presented the gospel 60,069 times.
- Of those presentations, 26,780 made professions of faith. (Hallelujonga Indeed!)
- They distributed 321 First Steps (church planting Curriculum) manuals.
- The Lord used them to plant 50 churches.
- They Worked with 534 existing mother churches.

Uh, clearly it is not about us. Understatement alert. Wow, I'm just amazed by what the Lord is doing in Rwanda.

Middle East
We're coming up on our Middle East Trip at the beginning of April. From February to early March, the pastors we work with in the country we're heading to shared the gospel with 250 people, six made professions of faith. They also passed out 320 New Testaments and 285 Jesus Films. (Campus Crusade is a wonderful partner!)

Please pray for our trip. Pray for:

- Dependency on upon God - 2 Cor. 3:4-6
- Open Hearts - Mark 4:8,20
- Spiritual Security - 1 Peter 5:6
- Unity - Phil. 2:2
- Worthy Speech - Psalm 19:14
- God's Truth - 1 Tim. 2:4
- Glory to God - Rom. 16:25

Here is a great story of how technology is penetrating that region in a way we might not be able to otherwise.
