From Zac Allen:
I met Pastor Charles Buregeya in January when I went on a Vision Trip to Rwanda. Charles pastors a church as well as leads an NGO called Africa New Life Ministries consisting of Orphan Care, Church Planting, and Theological Training. Charles is one of those rare visionary leaders who is playing an integral role laying gospel foundations in a rebuilding country. Charles will be in town this coming week (preaching @ our church this Sunday) and I hope you can clear 12-130 this Monday and worship to hear about the gospel in Rwanda.

Our March meeting will feature a new format this coming Thursday, March 25 at 10am. As usual, we will be hosted by the Austin Baptist Association (3811 Harmon Ave, Austin).
Because so many of us value the learning that comes through our conversations and relationships with each other, we are going to carry that learning into our meeting time. We will have a facilitated talkback time with each other, focusing on two main points of conversation:
Our hope is not only to learn from each other, but to form new levels of connection as we identify others working through, or who have worked through, some of the issues we are each facing. Please come ready to engage in the conversation, ready not only to learn, but to offer your own experiences too.
