Future Men of Rwanda

I often wonder, what will the future be for the many little boys I see. They are hungry and alone. I pray that these little guys will find Christ, and a purpose for their lives, and that they will someday belive that they "have what it takes...."
Like the soccer ball?
I am a goalie.
In Rwanda, if you are tired, you can lay down anywhere...

Wild at Heart...Random Acts of Kindness

Today was a special day. Cyprien and I rented a Matatu (minibus) for the sole purpose to drive back and forth from Kigali to Byumba town and HELP people who had heavy loads, or anyone God put on our hearts, and we brought our 10 (almost elven) year old sons, Mikey and Treasure or (T1)
Mikey spotted a street boy living under some stairs, and he bought this cool handmade toy. I taught him REVERSE negotiation...the boy wanted 1000 francs, and Mike gave him 2ooo francs, just for fun!
Here T1 and Mike are in a shop where we helped Josepha's husband get Sewing machine lessons from a professional, and at the same shop...
We were fine tuning a bicycle for a group of orphans sponsored by Stephanie and Matt Smith. This bike is going to be used for the oldest boy orphan, Celestine, to start a transport business! 

Wild Hearts...Random Acts of Kindess

Here the boys are with Cyp in the Sewing machine shop. They watched us follow up on the R.A.K. we did with Josepha and Simon...who needed lessons on the fancy sewing machine so he could teach Josepha...

Then we suprised Josepha AGAIN! We brought her 2 comfy mattresses, and a much needed mosquito net... 

Wild Hearts...Random Acts of Kindness

Our first road "VICTIMS" 5 people, 2 ladies and 3 men carrying large loads, were convinced to come in our matatu...
"Need any help dad"
WOW! These ladies were desperate.
I now know why they were both trying to pick up this bag...it was heavy! 

Wild at Heart...Random Acts of Kindness

This was the first crew we helped out.
Everyone got a fresh bottle of water.
They were very ready for some clean water!
Wow...this is nice!

Wild Hearts...Random Acts of Kindness

Next...Cyprien asked if they had ever GOT PAID to ride in a mutatu!
There was much unbelief.

And a lot of joy. We told each of them that Jesus loved them so much. We told them that a worker was worthy of their hire, and they had been working so hard this day to get their products to a market, and had not any transportation. 

Wild Hearts...Random Acts of Kindness

We made new friends today, and touched lives in the name of Christ.
I was so proud of Mike and T1, they really participated.
"I bought these sweet potatoes at the market, not knowing what to make with them, because I had no money for anything else, now I am going to buy some beans for my 5 children and my wife! Thank you!"
T1 shared his juice with this stranger, and he was very grateful. OH MY GOODDDINESS!
