The Just.Equipping team is leaving on February 1st until April 26th for Mission # 5 in Rwanda, RD Congo (north Kivu area) and Burundi. A number of teachers such as Philippe Landenne (Belgium), John de Vries, Eileen Henderson, John and Joan Palardy are joining te team at different times during the mission. The challenges are great, the money is scarce but we are moving on with the confidence that 'in Him all things hold together' (Col. 1:17). Thanks for your continued support which makes these missions possible. Without you we would never get off the ground! - Pierre and Judy
