The 2025 Rwanda team is doing incredible! Each Team member is eager to finish up training and head to the airport to make our way to Rwanda! We have one more training day left to go and then it's packout and commissioning! The team is truly coming together with full unity and embracing one another as family! The leadership team could not be more proud of how closely they are coming together! This morning's obstacle course run made the leaders so proud, the team decided that they wouldn't move on from any obstacle until the entire team had gone through each one. It was so encouraging to see them decide on their own and rally around each other to cheer on each person along the way at every step! Last night our team participated in a friendly classic Boot Camp competition called "Run From the Devil", it's a blow up two person runway where team members from two opposing teams compete in sticking a velcro piece to the center lane and then adding up the total scores to determine the winning team! Last night Rwanda showed up and showed out and won against the other team, they were so pumped! The past three days we have had block laying classes which are hard work but the team was able to catch on quickly and work together in learning how to place blocks correctly! They have also had some really amazing Advanced evangelism classes and it's safe to say the Rwanda team is equipped and ready to share the good news to anyone and everyone! Each night at Rally the team is worshipping and learning from speakers and then having our own team prayer time which has been also so encouraging to be a part of! We are so thankful for all the support and prayers coming this way and we ask that you will continue to pray as we near the end of Boot Camp and approach the mission field!
Here are some brief testimonies from a few team members!
"Hey everyone! Boot Camp was hard at first but now I'm enjoying it and having a lot of fun. My team and my leaders are great and I'm really enjoying running the O.C (obstacle course) and everything we're learning. Can't wait to see you all!"
- Levi Sal.
"Hi mom and dad! I am number one in countoff! I share tents with Marcus, John, Logan and Levi Shrop. Puppets is my favourite class because of the goofy attitude during puppets. O.C (obstacle course) is pretty easy but the running is the hardest part. I'm super excited to go to rwanda! love, Lucas"
