Pilgrimage to Rwanda
Delivering donated reference books to the Tabora Anglican Bible College on August 18
After another week of classes at the Bible college, I preached (with the help of a translator) at the 2 Swahili services at the Cathedral on Sunday. The second (10:30 am) Swahili service was also a Baptism.
The new (post-2001) national flag of Rwanda
Tomorrow (Tuesday, September 1) I leave for Murambi, Rwanda, to meet the 16-year-old girl whom the Church of Our Father has sponsored for 6 years through Compassion International. I will arrive in Kigali by bus around noon on Wednesday and make contact with representatives of Compassion when I get there.
Fr. Anthony Samaga, my Tanzanian email-pal for about the same length of time and now my frequent companion here in Tabora, will travel with me both ways. We'll return to Tabora on Sunday... probably.

Hey Fr. Chuck!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope this makes it to you across cyber space. Greetings dear brother in the name of Christ! Other attempts to navigate this blog apparently have failed. I would like to comment on all your writings--even if briefly...
As for this one--may God bless the use of those precious reference books you delivered. How beautiful and hopeful the Rwandan flag seems!
Blessings to you and all,
Wendy
