Some things that were accomplished in our last week in Rwanda: we found an office space for TTI. It is on the same property as a good sized home for Ngoga & his family. The house for the office has a large front room, smaller side room, and a bathroom. It seems very perfect as it is not far from our property, has room for parking, etc.
We have started the paperwork for getting TTI registered as an NGO. Mike met with the district vice mayor about registering and also discussed getting water from a natural spring not far from the property. (We found out that we can not drill, the drilling company has tried up there before & found no water, so they won’t drill there.) But there is a plentiful natural spring that Mike is sure we can get enough water from for us, as well as for the community.
We also got estimates for different phases of the property (water, septic system). We got prelimanary drawings for all of the phases of development of the property.
Mike also helped Africa New Life Ministries by working on the stairs for their Dream Chapel (unfortunately we had to leave before they had their first Sunday in their new church).
We look forward to sharing more about our trip, and our future plans, with anyone who can be at Heritage Church (in Hazel Dell) this Sunday night, August 10th, at 6pm. You can visit their website http://www.heritagenorthwest.org/ if you need directions.
Thank you for partnering with TTI & our family in the great adventure of following God’s will.
God Bless You,
Lisa & family
