replanning & staying flexible...

   Assessing the current

situation in Congo, & 

reflecting on our longterm

goals, etc. 

we have decided to proceed 

with the Empower training

with local Congolese leaders. 

They will now be held in 

a village in Rwanda, very 

close to the Congo border. 

Our entire team will be 

trained in the trauma therapy

program alongside the leaders

on the ground. This training 

is so important:

1. We will in turn be able to 

train other local leaders in

other villages and countries,

and

2. It will serve as a beautiful 

time to spend time building 

stronger relationships with our 

partners on the ground. 

    We will be in Kigali, Rwanda

for a couple of days before the 

training, where we will be 

relying on the Spirit to guide us on 

how we can best serve in that

area.  

    The weekend after the training, 

we hope that tensions will have 

significantly decreased, and that we

will be able to go into Congo for a 

day to do the workshops with the 

boys at the Peace Lives Center

(where the boys have either

escaped or been rescued from the 

LRA), and with the girls at the
Dina Center (where 75% of the girls

have been raped in the wars). 

   The key is to be flexible, and to 

listen to the Spirit's leading. 

Everything about this trip has 

been/is crazy, but we will take it

one day at a time, and be ever 

ready to be used for His glory. 

   Thank you for praying with us 

and for us. 

   Much love,
