Simon Peter Ngoga will be speaking at Grace Community Church in Woodland, WA this Sunday, October 19th. His flight to return to Rwanda is on Monday, October 20th. We praise God for the good time he has had here. Last Sunday Mike & Simon were at Shoestring Valley Church & had a great response from the congregation there. We praise God for taking care of Simon during his time here, as well as his family that had to stay behind in Rwanda. He misses them very much & is very excited to be returning to them! Before he leaves he will have a few more “essential” northwest experiences- a friend will take him up to Mt. Hood (maybe even see snow?) and he will also get to make a trip to the Oregon coast (touch an ocean for the first time!) Thank you for your continued prayers for God to bless & provide for Simon & his family.
We have made some changes to our expected schedule. We have decided to delay shipping the container until November, so it will arrive in Rwanda after the holidays. Mike will be in Rwanda for the month of November, working on getting everything straight for our required paperwork for being a non-profit organization, etc. We have a small team going to Rwanda Nov. 21st to Dec. 15th. Their goal will be working with Simon to interview & document children from the feeding program, identifying those who would be ready to benefit from being in the Home of Innocence.
Mike will return to Rwanda in January. Myself & the kids, as well as a few others, will join him Jan. 24th. This is another opportunity for you to participate- if you would like to come, or if you feel like you should help someone else go, please visit our website for more information.
Additional prayer requests would be for this paperwork in Rwanda (for TTI to be registered) to be completed & for God to provide the rest of the funds needed for phase 1 of the Acres of Hope. God has given us a calling & vision, and we know he will be faithful to provide! Please remember to pray for the children who are on the streets right now- that God would sustain them until a suitable place is ready for them. And wisdom for us to identify those whom God is calling out- those whom God has already planned to be in the Home of Innocence. We know He has a plan & we submit to His will! Thank you for laboring alongside us!
God Bless You!
