AT LONG LAST – BURUNDI
BOUND!!
It’s
been a long time coming……two years of waiting, praying, yearning….little did we
know that when we last visited Burundi in August of 2014 (for me) and for John,
January, 2015 we would be unable to return to our adopted second home for such
a long time! We never imagined what
would transpire in Burundi in the ensuing months, or how our hearts would
grieve; how hard it would feel to be so far away, knowing what the people were
experiencing. And yet, God brought us
closer than we could imagine, even when separated by half the globe. Such is the way God works, and how He works! What man intends for harm, He uses for
good. When others had to leave and
ministries dwindled, God expanded and more than doubled the Homecare
ministry!
And
now He has given us the opportunity to return once again! We will depart Wednesday, Sept. 7 - Bujumbura Bound - returning on Sept. 20. What a day of rejoicing that will be when we
once again sing, praise, dance and pray together with our Homecare family!
And
we take your love and prayers with us as we go….
Join
us on this much awaited journey! We will
try to send out an update daily (depending on internet access).
We would appreciate your prayers each day as
we travel, reconnect, meet with Homecare and other local leaders, and once
again just spend time with “the family.”
What a family reunion!!
Mama "Peace" is so appropriately named!
