Debriefing with the Sousys

On Thursday morning, we went to the AEBR (Association of Baptist Churches in Rwanda...AEBR is the French shortform!) for our debriefing with Kathleen and Bruno. We had a great time sharing our impressions and experiences of our time in Rwanda.

After this we were introduced to the Dorcas Group. This is a group of women who are HIV positive. This group meets every Friday for prayer, Bible study and mutual support. They are also learning to make baskets, clothing and other items for sale so that one day they can be self-sufficient. They also catered our lunch.

Before our lunch, we had the pleasure of watching a group of young people performing their traditional dance. The young people are street kids who have been meeting every Saturday under the leadership of a Theological student working at the church. Through this programme, many have become Christians and turned their lives around.

We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping in Kigali. Kathleen went with us to ensure that we were able to get the best deals.

In the evening, we went to the General Secretary of the AEBR for dinner. Andre and his wife were great hosts and provided a very traditional meal. This time together gave us the opportunity to learn more about the challenges of the ABR Church in Rwanda.
