\"\"<\/a>The school year ends and summer begins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thank you so much for conti \u00a0nuing to pray with us! We are blessed to have you on our team.<\/p>\n

Thank you for praying for Brad\u2019s health. He has improved quite a bit, and we praise God for that!<\/p>\n

This week, our kids are finishing up their school year. It has been a great year for each of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Also, this week we will be welcoming three interns who will be with us this summer. Each of them are pursuing God\u2019s direction as they sense God leading them towards missions. We are looking forward to having them here.<\/p>\n

Starting tomorrow, pastors from around Rwanda will be gathering for a two-day retreat to encourage one another and to seek God\u2019s direction for adjustments needed in order to comply with some new regulations in the country.<\/p>\n

Please pray with us for each of these different things. Pray that we will have strength and wisdom as we seek to be faithful this summer in various ministry opportunities, and the mentoring role we will have with our kids and the interns.<\/p>\n

In Christ,<\/p>\n

Brad & Chelsea<\/p>\n

Sarai, Gideon, and Ian<\/p>\n\n\n\n
