Mountain Gorillas

Safari in Tanzania

We visited Cyangugu over the new year's break. This is where we first came to Rwanda over 2 years ago.

Tom spoke at the same church, this time the pitcher, cup, and saucer (thanks to Chuck Miller)came to Cyangugu!

Visiting the Batua (Pygmie) tribe that we visited 3 years ago. The church has built several more houses, and provided rabbit cages for them to raise rabbits for meat. (They have actually moved the rabbits to live inside the house because they are afraid of them being stolen if they leave them outside)

We visited a small group that was started by the Purpose Driven Life book from Saddleback church. The church built this home for a widow. Now it was great to see their small group helping each other and building homes for those who lost their homes during the earthquake last year.

Hannah shared about Jesus being a part of her life to many children on an island we visited. She was able to pray with these kids to become Christians. And yes, that is Charles who was our translator 3 years ago and who has become a good friend.

Tom is coaching the Jr. High girls basketball team. Hannah's first Basketball game against arch-rival Green Hills Academy.
