Mike made it home safely. He did miss one connection en route, but they were able to reschedule him & thankfully kept him on schedule for the rest of his flights. The other good news is that we have recieved our “letter of collaboration” from the district we operate in in Kigali. This is something we have been waiting for so we can move to our next step for our in-country registration as an NGO. Next we move our paperwork to the immigration office for our approval, which we hope will not be far off. Pray with us!

Before Mike left he had two volunteers from the US arrive in Rwanda. These two college students are going to spend a few weeks giving their time to work with the kids at the Home of Innocence. One of them is actually Rwandan and can help with translation, and they both will be helping with teaching english, making sure we have current information on sponsored children, and otherwise helping however they can. What a blessing- thank you!

Our most recent newsletter went out last week. If you are not receiving our newsletters you may sign up to do so here on our website. //tentalentsint.org/involved/join-our-list.cgi In this issue of our newsletter we are asking for people to join our support team for our family. Our desire is that our monthly support would increase enough for us to be able to afford to take our whole family to work in Rwanda for an extended length of time. Please take a few minutes to read our newsletter & keep us in your prayers.

We are so thankful for the many people who are a part of the work of Ten Talents International. Whether it is through your financial support, your prayers for us, or by telling people about our work, we would not exist without you! You allow God to use you & what a wonderful thing happens both in you & others when this happens!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Our Christmas wish for you is that you are able to focus on your blessings- most especially your loved ones and the greatest gift that was given to us in Jesus. A savior!

God Bless You,
Lisa
