I've Got Friends......
Some of my newest friends are Dave and Jana Jenkins. Pretty awesome people, really. They are here in Oklahoma for a year, but are normally missionaries in Uganda. Dave went on a trip to Rwanda this week and has been in our prayers. Here's a little news from their trip:

[Oklahoma Christian University] President Dr. Mike O’Neal will return this weekend from Kigali, Rwanda. He and his wife, Nancy, have been there for a week visiting orphanages, HIV/AIDS clinics, and children-led households.

Dr. O’Neal’s group, which includes OC visiting missionary Dave Jenkins and OC Associates Richard and Pat Lawson, also had a one-hour private audience with President Paul Kagame, the first democratically-elected president in Rwanda.

“President Kagame is a true statesman whom I believe will lead Rwanda to much greater freedom and prosperity. He is an amazing man who once led the militants that overturned the corrupt government and who has brought an incredible stability to this country,” Dr. O’Neal said. “The current story of this country is one that needs to be told much better than it is in the U.S. and around the world. We have had an amazing experience.”
