the crescendo

i am here. it is beautiful. the people are amazing!

i went to the genocide memorial here in kigali. i wept uncontrollably. i read about children who were brutally murdered as young as 9 months old in their mother’s arms. i will write more on this later – i only have another 10 mintues on the internet for today.

thank you all for your prayers – we have been able to sit with people and hear their stories. as i said, the people here are amazing.

i preached today. i may post my sermon next time i’m able to get on the internet – but it was a great experience. we met with a protestant group at the local hospital. they meet for a brief church service during lunch twice a week. i preached about how it is they who should be preaching to me and thanked them for their work. i encouraged them and in turn they encouraged me greatly.

kevin keeps introducing me as “pastor becky.” it is easier to just go with that than explaon that i was a pastor but now i’m in training and a long process with the episcopal church etc. i have been surprised at their welcome of me as a woman pastor.

this has been a surprisingly good few days…the computer is dying so forgive my inelloquence…more later.

thanks for your continued prayers!
