Summer

Well, the YCEW team from Oregon is safely back home again. We have been taking some time to rest, and spend time with the kids since they are on summer break now.

We are gearing up for the annual Kumbya Conference, a ten day conference involving missionaries from all denominations in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Congo and Tanzania. Dave is the head coordinator this year, organizing the conference with two other missionaries. I'm purchasing food and overseeing the preparation of meals. Its a big job, cooking for 170 people over a big fire! But we have Rwandan cooks who know what they are doing and will do a great job.

The kids are really looking forward to Kumbya. They have childrens VBS all moring every morning. In the afternoons they swim and play. For them Kumbya is paradise.

We are getting a team of 9 from Rose Drive Friends Church in CA who will help with the Jr. and Sr. High VBS programs. Gregg Pricket from Rose Drive will be one of the Kumbya speakers. They arrive on the 25th of July and will leave on the 5th of August.
