Webers in Rwanda: Dec. 2023 Missions Update

Christmas shopping in t-shirts and shorts!

We sent out our dear Weber family—Ben, Cherie, and 6 of their children—as missionaries in our sister diocese in Gahini, Rwanda, on March 29th. They’re living among our Rwandan brothers and sisters there, working to strengthen our mission partnership and relationship with our sister parish through Friends of Gahini!

Here’s the Webers’ December newsletter update with a look back at the last year, coming after the kids have started Kinyarwandan lessons and Gahini, Rwanda, has been starting to feel a lot more like home! You can find praises and prayer requests below, and read the whole update complete with more photos and details here!

Praises:

Spending time with Cherie’s parents during a visit!

• Mae and Cherie had a wonderful time in Kenya with Cherie's parents.

• Cherie's parents completed their travels safely and are back home in PA.

• Culture shock has been a little easier this month. Thank you for praying about this.

Prayer Requests:

• We are missing our family a lot as we go through the holidays. It is especially hard to be away from our son and his family this month. 

• Pray that the kids' Kinyarwandan lessons go well and that they are able to learn quickly.

• Bishop Manasseh's oldest daughter is getting married at the end of this month. Please pray for them as weddings put a lot of pressure on the families here in Rwanda. We look forward to joining them in this joyful event!
