Rwanda now!

Now that you've read what I did last summer in Rwanda and that I plan on going back this summer, I'll let you in on what's going on with our preperations for this coming summer and how much we know about what exactly we're going to do.
Our team consists of Alex Volpe, a Junior at OC, Mike King, a freshman at OC, Adam Blackerby, a Junior, me and Bryan and Holly Hixson, both are faculty members at OC and attend Quail Springs Church of Christ, and their two little girls, Alexis and Grace.
Our team has gotten together twice so far and we have discussed things like fundraising, what we'll be doing, what our lesson plan and tactics are, how and what the missionaries are doing, what the culture there is like and what our fears and motivations. Our last meeting was during OC's lectureship week, so Sam and Nancy Shewmaker, who have been missionaries in Africa, came and told us some of their story and answered some of our questions.

We aren't quite certain yet what we'll be doing. The original plan was to teach classes at KIST university, like what my LST team did last summer. But that plan seems to no longer be available to us. Now we are hoping to be able to have small group studies and independent one-to-one studies with students from KIST who are interested.

unfortunately my time is running out and i have to go to class now. I'll give more update and some pictures later.
Have a great day everyone!
