by Katherine Leigh Hartman So I know I haven’t talked to everyone about my trip to Rwanda, and I hope to eventually share all of the incredible experiences I was blessed by with everyone. I found that one will learn a lot when they go on a mission trip overseas, but the most vital lessons [...]
Being back from Rwanda, Africa now just a few days, I continue to seek understanding. What gentle leading is God’s Spirit undertaking? What is to be different – in my life especially? When the mysteries of God present themselves in my life, I have tried to learn to firmly embrace what I do know, and [...]
Our visit in Africa came at a significant time in Rwanda as the political election for president was to be held a few days after our departure, Monday, August 9. The importance of the upcoming election was clear and evident to our team as we traveled the country; we saw many rallies, banners, t-shirts, and [...]
The Rwanda Mission Team is back, and evidently, most of us are still trying to adjust our body clocks to being on Texas time! We had an amazing journey filled with tremendous experiences, sights, people and an abundance of God’s blessings. Each day seemed to be full of life, which will make it difficult [...]

She had a wonderful personality. She was teaching us swahili and kirawandan. We were teaching her Texan slang! We [...]
These last 2 weeks in Africa have been an eye opening experience. Our first day in Kigali we helped build a wall. During our down time, we played with some of the local children. It was so nice to see smiles on all the faces, even with the language barrier. We sang and danced for [...]
