If you are connected with St. James Church you know that during VBS this summer the children were bringing in money to purchase bricks to help repair the crumbling home of a dear widow in Rwanda, named Console. She also has one daughter who had gone to live with someone else because the house was uninhabitable.
Yesterday we had the privilege of visiting with Console in her new home! Her daughter Dorcas has returned to live with her now that the home is safe and dry. Peggy, Dee and I delighted in telling her all about the children at our church and the love they came to have for "grandma Console" as we talked about her throughout VBS.
Here are a few pictures from that wonderful day:
