Each week guest speakers from all over Africa came in to teach us about God and His character, some topics included learning God's father heart, about forgivness, reconcilation, sin, realtionships, culture, missions, etc.
There were 14 students in total; 2 Amercians, 1 Tanzanian, 2 from Burundi, 3 from Rwanda and the rest from Kenya. All the girls stayed in one room and the boys in another! We lived together for six months and all survived!
After three months of training we were excited to go out into the mission field, wherever God would lead us to share with His people! We really had no idea what was to come, what challeneges we would face as we left our comfort zones. Preaching.... teaching.... leading worship.... quiet time with God.... hearing His voice.... Trusting Him to provide..... Not to mention we had no idea we would run into spiritual warfare!
