In the previous post I talked about how the church in Kabale is doing incredible ministry in its community. On Day 8, we visited the church's nursery school and met with its youth group, men's group, and women's groups. It was neat to see how similar the issues are cross-culturally. Then, on Day 9, we drove to Rwanda. I had tried to prepare myself for the grisly scenes to come.

On Days 6 and 7, we visited two of the communities in which HIV and AIDS ministry is being done through Kabale PAG. CRWRC chooses to do development work primarily through local churches. It's incredible how God is using His church to accomplish so much.

I think one of the reasons I liked this particular trip so much was that we were able to learn more about the local culture--beyond the work that my organization does in communities. "Communities," or "the field," is where the poorest of the poor live. Beyond the capital city, beyond the smaller cities, where there are few NGO signs. I'll talk more about that when I write about Days 6-8.
