Purpose & Prayer Requests

Friends -

On Sunday we leave for Rwanda and a week of relationship building with our sister church. As we go we would love for you all to be in prayer with us and for us. Below is a brief description of our purpose for this trip and the goals we hope to accomplish. As you think of this team over the next two weeks, please lift these things before the Lord. We are grateful for our partnership in the gospel with everyone here at Apostles, overseas in Rwanda and all around the world.

Purpose:

The purpose of this COA trip to Rwanda is to better discern ways in which God wants to deepen our relationship with the Gikomero parish and Shyogwe Diocese.

Goals / Prayer Requests:

1. Spend significant time with the leadership and parishioners in Gikomero discussing each congregation’s vision for spreading the Gospel and furthering the kingdom of God.

2. Meet with Mothers' Union leaders to better understand the needs and gifts of women in our congregations.

3. Review the progress of the Gikomero water project and Health Clinic.

4. Discuss with Diocesan leaders how best to deepen our relationship with them in ways that include and transcend physical projects.

5. Develop practical and logistical knowledge for how to more frequently send members of our Raleigh congregation to Rwanda in a way that honors our Rwanda hosts but minimally strains their time and personnel resources.
