Rwanda
Free.
My heart is filled this morning as I scroll through pictures of Cory’s trip to Rwanda last summer. I long to be there and September seems like it’s an eternity away. It’s a weird feeling to look at these precious faces and feel like I already know them. I’ve heard Cory’s stories time and time again and often find myself speaking about Rwanda as if I’ve been there. How can I feel so strongly for people I’ve never met, in a country I’ve never been to? Now that we are on the upside of our July fiasco and actively planning a trip in September, it brings tears to my eyes…
Trusting Without Borders

With planning in full swing comes the tedious task of support letters. #lifeofamissionary Thank goodness, I’ve got a husband who can write like nobody’s business. Since he wrote our letter {and has been working 72+ hours/week} I thought it was only fair for…
MUZUNGU!
Hey guys, this is Cory, writing my first guest post here. Paige asked me if I would mind telling a little about my trip to Rwanda. It’s been a long time coming, partly because I’m a procrastinator and partly because I don’t know how to condense such a life-changing experience with so much to tell into one blog post. I put it off as long as I could, until Paige threatened my life for breaking my promise to do this, so…here goes. My trip to Rwanda was a joint mission trip with Barnabas X and Reach the Children of Rwanda International. A little background summary on why we went: RCRI…
