on the way back to Nairobi this morning, we stopped at a little town called gilgil. One of our new friends was preaching a crusade there, and we were able to stop in and speak to the people for a few minutes. it is so humbling to see how these guys minister in the most undesirable conditions. My friend peter is a very successful businessman in the most prosperous area in Kenya, and he leaves his business at least once a month to do a crusade in some remote area of Kenya. He called us en route to ask us to stop in, and we were able to speak to these people under this tent in gilgil, Kenya!
God has given us so many opportunities, and we have seen Him show His power in ways we could never have “planned” if He hadn’t ordained this mission from start to finish. It is absolutely mind-blowing.
We leave tomorrow morning at 5:45 to fly to Kigali Rwanda. We really don’t know much about this leg of the trip, but we go confidently believing that God has purposed us to be there at this exact time. Ron and I ask that you PLEASE pray for this leg of the mission. We will have so many opportunities to share His love, His grace, His mercy, His hope, and His bigness to the people in this devastated country. We are supposed to bring messages of hope to the masses, and we have no idea how to do that, but again, we know that we know that we know that we know that God has brought us here for His glory. Please pray that He will use us however he wants.
I hope we will be able to update you guys in Rwanda, but in case we don’t have internet access, we’ll be able to plug in on Tuesday in Nairobi.
We love you guys, and we can’t wait to see you in eight days. We continue to pray believing for the great harvest.

We'll be sure to love on your families this next week. I know Rwanda will be absolutely like nothing you have ever seen in your life. Remember as much as you can for us back here. And really let it sink in for yourselves. Take moments to stop and observe, even though you'll be crazy busy. I'm sure the people there are in for an incredible time. I am 100% confident that the two of you will exude nothing but hope for them. Indeed there is so much hope in Christ!
Hi guys I am so excited that you will be back in eight days it seems like yesterday that you just left. Say hello to all of the little kids for me.
I'm Praying,
Mattie Butler
