our journey to rwanda....

an opportunity presented itself and we decided to follow where God was leading - rwanda, a land of a thousand hills. a land where almost 1,000,000 were massacred in 100 days in 1994, a land where orphans abound.

our prayer is that God will use this trip to show us many things - but mainly Himself and how we can help the children.

our time will be spent primarily serving in orphanages. we can hardly wait to get there.

p.s. first time readers -- please read the first blog entry and listen to the song playing :)

Lord willing....

...we leave indpls. at 6 am monday morning and will arrive in rwanda, on tuesday the 2nd in the afternoon (they are 7 hours ahead of home so it will be early morning here). we hit the ground running and continue until we leave on tuesday, march 9th.

thanks ahead for any prayer you lift up for greg, sam, ben, me, and our work there. and also for thomas, sarah, and phoebe at home :)

  1. Dear Jan and Family,

    So glad that you set up this blog for us to follow your journey to help the orphans in Rwanda. You will most certainly be in our prayers as you allow the Lord to work thru you as His hands and His feet!

    Stay Safe,
    The Stephens
