If at first you don't succeed ... try, try again

Last year, my plans to return to Rwanda for Threads of Hope were dashed at the very last minute.  Long time friend and incredible supporter of the programs was set to be traveling with me to Rwanda for the first time in August 2010.  Just days before our trip he became terribly ill with a rare reaction to an immunization. After a few agonizing conversations and great concern for my friend's well being we cancelled the trip mere days before we were supposed to fly.

The GREAT news is ... he healed well, months later welcomed in the arrival of his new baby boy and has gotten even more excited and passionate about experiecing the great things that are happening in Rwanda first hand.  So ... we set off again ... another try in a few short weeks. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during mid-July and check back regularly for updates, right here!

This trip will be a little different as our goal is to capture the incredible stories of courage and joy of the people of Rwanda and share their stories with you.  There is hope in a broken world, there is hope for a country, a people, a village and for one person and the evidence is all around us.  Stay tuned for these incredible stories and help support these incredible people who I have come to view as family.
