A Great Cloud of Witnesses (Continued)
The above portion of this was written while I was yet at home in Gisenyi. Now I am in Kigali housed
at the YWAM base. It’s a unusually cool day, and I am shivering. I used to laugh at those wearing “winter
coats” below 70 F. Now, I have joined their ranks. We have just begun introductions and are getting our-
selves settled for the next few months. I have really enjoyed meeting new people from a variety of nations.
There are brothers and sisters from Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan, South Sudan, US,
and India.

One of the new experiences for me is living in a dorm-style housing. The women all sleep in one
large room, with white-washed plywood dividers extending halfway to the ceiling. Two bunk beds make up
a division, with twelve total to the room as a whole. We are definitely a cloud of witnesses to each others
nighttime noises and conversations. I am quite grateful for this opportunity to have these new experiences
to grow and be challenged both mentally and spiritually. In closing, let us continually remember that we are
ambassadors of heaven on earthly assignment representing our King and Father.

With praise to the living God, Grace Elliott at YWAM, Kigali, Rwanda
