One Body in Christ

"For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us..." Romans 12:4-6

We are the hands and feet of God serving with the gifts he has given us during our time in Rwanda.

Greg, Dan and Kevin will have two tough days of installing a cement floor at the Remera boys home. They are the teen headed household St. Paul's is supporting annually.

Kira and Dave are working with Sam, the farm manager to access the feeding, watering and cost effectiveness of the animals. Today they designed and will build feeders for the rabbit hutches. They will also build mangers in the pens for feeding the goats as well as create new watering troughs.

Pastor Lee took a tour of Urukundo then hiked down to the source of the water. His church, Park Forest Village United Methodist Church, was instrumental in the success of the water project serving 300 households.

Each day brings a new adventure. Each day brings many blessings. Each day brings opportunities to realize how fortunate we are to have our families, our church, education, food and water. We sing praises nightly during our devotions of these many gifts. God provides and we are called to provide for our brothers and sisters.
