Hello Alissa, Patrick, and BSVI family. It was a pleasure hearing from you Alissa and being introduced to the entire team. I truly appreciate you sharing with me what's happening in Rwanda, and how God continues to bless the people, and school. Please let all of BSVI staff know that they too, along with the children will be in my prayers. May God continue to greatly bless the school and ministry that you're doing for the advancement of His Kingdom. All is well with me. I'm doing great. Your cousin (Deb) will be at a conference this coming Sunday, and has asked me to encourage the body by bringing God's Word. I'm very grateful, excited, and thankful to God for every privilege and opportunity that I get to share His truth. Continue to keep me in your prayers as well. Continue to be safe, and we will chat again soon. Love you my friend and sister in Christ!
