going in faith

In July, we were told that Rwanda would allow foreigners into the country beginning in August. Despite the risks of traveling at the time, we knew that it was God’s plan for us to finally make the move. It was not easy clearing out our house that we had lived in for 20 years and fitting everything we would need in Rwanda in a container that would take months to arrive at our new home. But with the help of our children and many friends, we were able to get it all done and leave for Rwanda with four suitcases. Despite all the craziness, we were in complete peace as we embarked on our new journey.

building community

Upon arrival, we met with our His Hands On Africa Rwanda team and shared our hopes and dreams with them. We visited our dental surgeons and dropped off a member for his first internship assignment. We shared meals, played games and prayed for one another, HHOA and of course our faithful supporters. We thanked God for making everything possible through your support.

building our clinic

We began the construction of the Compassion Community Dental Clinic (CCDC) in Nyamata. Managing the construction in Africa has been extremely challenging. It was impossible to find people with any experience building dental clinics, and as a result, the entire process ended up taking three times longer than anticipated. But by God’s grace, it is nearing completion and has been a good learning experience for the building of our HOPE Dental Center in the future.

Nothing will be impossible for you.”
