Quick Update:
Tomorrow I leave for a 17-day trip to Burundi. I will join a team of folks in Toronto and we will fly to Paris/Nairobi/Bujumbura. The trip was established with the purpose of building relationships among Christian leaders. It is a chance for all involved to listen and learn how God is moving in the world. And I get to tag along. This will be my first impression and a chance for me to see, hear, taste, and smell what life is like in Burundi. I am excited to be a part of it!
I will return in early February. I hope to have access to email (or WhatsApp/Viber) while I’m gone.
Many thanks for your support and encouragement. I look forward to telling you more once I return.
