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.

The First Ever Thomas Family Blog
Hi there,
I just learned how to set up a blog last night and here I am, trying to make it work! I would like for this blog site to help us keep our family, friends and supporters updated on what we are doing. Seems like most of the time we are so busy doing what we do that we don't make time to communicate like we ought to.
I'm hoping to write some articles on Disipling for Development, Business as Mission (and some of our attempts at Business as Mission in Rwanda), live here in Rwanda with the Thomas family, and anything else that might be of interest.
Presently we have a youth team from North West Yearly Meeting here for three weeks. You can find there blog here: http://ycewrwanda2008.blogspot.com/2008/06/nine-travelers-and-their-families.html They have pictures, and even a couple of video clips.
So, I hope that in the future you will find some interesting articles, pictures, and maybe even video clips here that will keep you informed of our life and work in Kigali, Rwanda.
