Recently Pete got in touch and asked me to spend a bit of time chatting over their church developments, to see if there was any advice that we could give their church leaders.
We met at 9am this morning and discovered what a superb range of community based works they do. We were both very impressed by the clarity of their thinking, their commitment to God, and their determination to make the most of their city centre position
Apart from their church services which have several hundreds of people at most services, they run:
- an Aids and orphans programme for 350 children.
- a disability project
- a Vocational training facility
- a bookshop and community
- support to 170 churches throughout Rwanda
- Emmaeus courses and a translation facility

Oh, and they have a very good table tennis team! Time to get my bat out!
Yet, despite all this work and more, they are looking to the future and seeking to improve their support to their community, hence our discussions today.

After the meeting we escaped to chat at the Bourbon UTC, and Roger and I share how impressed we were with their team. We both wonder where these discussions are going to take us.

Part of Saturday has been set aside to consider our thoughts and recommendations to them. Sunday we meet Chrissie and her husband for supper, and then we meet their team on Tuesday to share our ideas - exciting times
