Rwanda-R What?
11/27/1994: On my birthday, I went back to the camp where as a 9 year old I committed my life to be a missionary. I said, "God, I'm 40 years old today and I'm not a missionary. Either send me to the mission field or take it out of my heart."
The next week Pastor Luke approached me and asked me to start praying about going to Rwanda. I replied "R What?" I never heard of Rwanda and couldn't even tell you what continent it was on. I was blissfully ignorant of the genocide that happened just the year before. 3 months later I was on the plane with a one-way ticket to Rwanda. My first time out of my country except one week mission trips to baja Mexico.
