It was wonderful to begin a new journey with 9 pastors here in Rwanda, where we saw a genuine passion for understanding what the Bible says. They had many questions about the Holy Scriptures, and we thank God for the grace He gave us to answer every single one of them.

It is also wonderful that they committed to teaching others what they learned in the training. This is what we strive for: that the Word of God and the message of the Gospel spread correctly, especially within the church in Rwanda.

We will begin a New Testament course with the pastors (this group and the previous group), which will take place every Monday via Zoom. This will help us stay in constant communication with them and help them know the Word of God. We also encouraged them to start reading the New Testament, as it is surprising that many of these pastors have not read it yet.

We also thank God for what He has done in the discipleship group in Kamonyi. I was amazed by the remark of the pastor responsible for this group after we finished discussing eternal security. He said, "Now I feel a sense of relief and peace regarding this matter, knowing that I will not lose my salvation and will always be with Christ."

Truly, this is what we strive for: that believers know what the Word of God says. They live in constant fear regarding their salvation because they do not learn the Word of God and because there is no one to teach them.

Abir has resumed her women's group meetings, starting with practical and spiritual lessons beginning from the Book of Genesis. The goal is to start with them from the very beginning of the Bible so they can understand each book in God's Word and how to apply this biblical teaching to their practical lives.

We thank God for your continuous prayers for us, and we thank those who support this work in Rwanda.

Prayer Requests:

• We pray that God completes His work in the lives of these individuals.

• We pray for divine protection from all the spiritual warfare we constantly face every time we return from ministry.
