Up, Up and Away
By the time you are reading this devotion I will have met my traveling family for the next ten days. Many of the folks are from the Western and Southwestern United States. Some are from the Midwest and one is from the Virgin Islands. I’ll know a few names by now and we will have engaged in some get-acquainted dialogue.
Mid-morning will find me boarding an Ethiopia Airlines flight that will take us to Addis Ababa with a scheduled arrival time on Saturday morning for breakfast. This will be the longest flight I’ve experienced.
Upon arrival in Rwanda we will do the currency exchange and enjoy lunch at our hotel. We will tour various sites in Kigali, the capital, including the hotel depicted in the movie Hotel Rwanda, the Kandt Museum and a stop at Camp Kigali where the genocide commenced.
Sunday will include an English worship service (maybe), a visit to the Village of Hope-- a shelter for marginalized women who have experienced gender-based violence, and a visit to a Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital.
Have a good weekend.
