Dan left on Wednesday for Rwanda and Burundi. He's joining several other e3 partners staff in conducting LDCs - Leadership Development Conferences - for upcoming church-planting trips this summer. Click HERE for prayer calendar for this trip. Click HERE for latest Team Berryman update!
This pic is of the stuff that didn't fit in his alloted 2 suitcases. He had to add a third bag in order to haul all the extra materials with him for the LDCs. 20 e-cubes, 400 laminated bookmarks, 100's of pens, nearly 7,000 pages of printed materials, proclaimers, mega-voices...he called me from Atlanta - his luggage weighed so much that they charged him an extra $150 - at least he'll be leaving most of that stuff in Africa!!
On a more frugal note, text messages are only .35 cents. Here's some of the cryptic text messages I've received so far.
- I have arrived in rwanda. I was met by mike & sidney. Brussels air is the best. Bags were wet from heavy rains in atlanta.
- Happy anniversary! 21.75 years, can you believe it?
- We are in ruhengeri at the guest house. LDC tomorrow. Then back to Kigali. I'm leaning how to make campaign successful.
- Halfway done with 1st ldc. Over 211 professions of faith with pastors practicing with ecube. Pastor Japhet is here.
- In Africa, the LORD is risen
