Wow, isn't life busy here in Australia! I think I'm still wanting to be in African time, and loving it!! It's a nice slow paced walk over there in that great continent.
The first week we were in Kigali, Rwanda, we held the Feet First program to equip 21 (possibly 22) of their main youth leaders throughout Rwanda and Burundi.
We had morning devotion time, then we had a morning teaching and question/contemplation time which was powerful. In the afternoons, we broke up into 3 electives, Childrens ministry, Youth ministry or Worship and Creative Arts ministry.
We taught these youth leaders a couple of our 'English' songs which really took off and they were able to connect with God in a language they were still only learning. These songs were songs like, Here I am to worship, Saviour King and Hossana.
On the Wednesday night we watched the movie 'The Passion' by Mel Gibson on a borrowed projector. These African's, when they cry, they do it loudly!! Wow!! Afterwards, we sung Saviour King (perfect song for this movie!!) and had a powerful prayer time where there were many breakthough's in peoples lives. Prase God.
The Thursday night we had an Acts 1:8 prayer night where we gave the option of the baptism of the Holy Spirit! The night went way too fast! It was awesome, God showed up, had a few salvations and we kicked one demons butt out of there!!
The final morining, we had a 'commissioning' to send them out and empower them and washed their feet as Jesus washed His disciples feet. They really didn't know how to react, they see 'white people' as being superior, and we really made sure we humbled ourselves and did this act of service to them to break this in Jesus Name!
We have already seen some fruits of this week, a new worship team has been formed to praise God in the Kigali Central Corps from scratch - I pray that this will be a blessing to the people there in the capital.

The Regonal Commanders wife, concluded with her interpretation of 'Feet First' by saying she liked it's name, because your eyes can go first, but you don't necesserily go and do anything, but if your feet go first, you actually progress and go! If your feet go, so will your body. I thought that was a really good interpretation for the delegates, and ourselves!
Please keep Rwanda in your prayers as I am, there was an earthquake in Rwanda and the Congo Monday morning, their Sunday during Church where 20-25 people were killed.

"Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.""

what God has done through you all over there is absolutely amazing!
it's so encouraging to hear how God is working with such awesome power.
i encourage you to keep walking as the Spirit leads you, because if God is for you who can be against you?
God bless and all the best, Alana:-)
