Set the World on Fire!

I'm getting a quick post off before I leave for Burundi, Africa. I leave on July 23rd, returning on August 6th. While there I will be teaching a Peacemaking Seminar to 200 pastors and church leaders in Carama. The other 10 people who I am traveling with will be helping stucco mud brick homes and working in a health clinic. Following the seminar, I will join back up with the group and help them work on homes for a day. After that, we'll travel to an orphanage and school that is being built in Cibitoke. We will spend a few days visiting the Lutheran World Relief sites in Ruyigi. We will be meeting with government leaders and church leaders on several of our daily trips. I will have an opportunity to preach at a church in Carama my first Sunday there and the second Sunday we will be at the capital - Bujumbura.

Elizabeth recently danced to Set the World on Fire. I couldn't think of a better tie in to what God is allowing the 11 of us to do in Burundi over the next 2 weeks. Only the Lord knows how many hundreds of lives will be impacted.



Thank you for your prayers for our safety and also that many lives will be impacted, as well as our own!

Peace and blessings,
John
