One of the absolute best parts of the Future Leaders Program is that from February 6-18th we will be going on a Global Impact (missions) trip to Rwanda. There we’ll be working with the staff of World Relief, who MBC has a 5-year partnership with in the Great Lakes region of Africa.

So some of you know that I’ve never been outside of the country before, unless you count the two hours I spent driving through Canada, which I don’t. Stopping for gas and pizza in Canada doesn’t really count as international experience, but I digress. Anyhow, I’m REALLY pumped for this trip, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what God does in me and through me for those 12 days.

One of the fun things about the Future Leaders Program is that there is such a wide range of passions that people have. We have at least four Future Leaders who are extremely passionate about missions and their enthusiasm is contagious. Heck, Natalie is even teaching us Kinyarwandan!

If you want, you can make a contribution to help me get there. And I would like to stress that I truly do covet prayers while I am over there. I have no idea what it is going to be like, and I’m both nervous and excited.
