Conference and updates

Wednesday 3rd

Conference day for 126 church leaders and their spouses. We were looking at the person and work of the Holy Spirit and Jim and Andy shared the four teaching sessions between them.

Grace, Valerie and Heather spent time with the pastors from the SAP-linked parishes catching up with how things are going for them and their congregations. Many are still struggling to cope with the recent building regulations that require a lot of expenditure to bring church buildings up to the acceptable level that is now required. But despite these challenges, the pastors are encouraged by what the Lord is doing in and through his church. Photos of pastors and their spouses were taken that will be sent out to our UK SAP partners. Please pray for each of the church leaders as they return to their parishes, that they may serve in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Tomorrow is Liberation Day which is a national holiday (which we were not aware of until today!). There will be lots of parades up and down the country in the morning, so we will be somewhat limited as to what we can do. However a meeting with the Bishop is planned for the afternoon which will be useful to talk through different aspects of our partnership with the diocese and plan for the future.

Thanks for reading and please keep praying for the Church here in Rwanda.
