She doesn’t know it, although she might have some idea, because I told her the story of Boaz & told her I was like Boaz, my wife like Ruth, but she said she wanted to be like my wife’s sister. So that would make her a sister-in-law, but they’re both younger than most of my daughters.

The first photos are mostly Cynthia, then photos & a video of the prayer meeting I taught at after writing this email.

I think this house-girl, Cynthia, is something God arranged and some kind of answer to my prayer. I don’t remember all my prayers, because my life & thoughts are mostly prayer though I hope my impatient thoughts aren’t counted as prayers. But about 1 day before this house girl arrived to replace the one who demanded more pay than her agreed $10/mo. wage. $0 to $20 is typical, because at least they have a place to sleep & eat. Anyway, that 1 day, I thought & probably prayed that I’d like a house assistant who spoke enough English & was trustworthy enough to teach him/her to use the computer & help with business matters.

A friend of my wife’s brought her here. After agreeing to come for just room & board my wife was happily surprised to find out that this girl is a Christian & member of an Assemblies of God, which is my wife’s favorite traditional church in Kigali, & at least 2 places in Uganda. She’s actually already talking to me in English better than my wife, although they both know a number of things the other doesn’t. Like most Africans she is poor for lack of opportunity & often for lack of parents. Her entire nuclear family except her younger sister were killed when she was 3 in the Genocide & most of her other relatives, also. She, her sister & 5 cousins have been living with a poor widow Aunt, who hasn’t really had enough to feed all of them. She started secondary school, but couldn’t afford the book fees, so she’s hoping for some way to continue school.

She’s 17, & 3.5 years younger than my 4rth daughter & still young enough to learn English & things like computers rapidly. My wife will probably find her telling her how to use gadgets like most of us find our children & grand-children doing.

We have some extra Kinyarwanda bibles, her best language, but I don’t know where my wife put them while she is away to Goma. But amazingly, while I was running Sunday I spent some time with 3 young men & the stocky weight-lifter gave me a new Kinyarwanda bible just like the ones we recently bought, because he was a Moslem & didn’t want it.

She is in bed reading the bible right now (10:00p Mon) after we had a good discussion eating the dinner she cooked while I’m in bed typing as usual.

If things continue & my wife agrees, I’d like to adopt her & bring her to the USA with us. I love to teach & always wanted to be a good father to my daughters, but it was mostly impossible with the interference of their demonized mother. So perhaps that prophecy that God would restore all that I lost, will be fulfilled in unexpected ways.

Tomorrow, our two new New Wave-Rwanda leaders are going with me to start registering the ministry, returning here for lunch then going at 3 to for me to teach a group one of them has waiting. Jean-Claude’s brother will interpret, since their English is very limited. It will be good to travel with them & except for buses & common language it will be much like Jesus walking & talking & doing ministry with the Apostles.

This Tues morning I enjoyed early breakfast with the house-girl, Cynthia & shared with her teaching on the Song-of-Solomon &, of course, new English. When I woke up the internet had much improved, so I attached many photos & videos to my “8 pieces of wisdom from 39 yrs..”

After the first trip trying to register the ministry, my partners have gone to town, so I’m about too take a nap to be alert to go again, teach on a 3 hr trip, & spend reuniting time with my lovely wife, who should be home before our scheduled 1:00 lunch.

Thursday 5/9/08 Personal use of excess time.

Three New Waves:

Ø Passionate Love————–From & for Jesus

Ø Never-Ending Humility—To follow the King

Ø Total Sacrifice ————–Living out His Love & Humility

1. Don’t expect your spouse to be reasonable or sensitive consistently.

2. Don’t get married unless you plan to die many times.

3. Don’t expect to be great in heaven unless you die more times that you ever decided to.

4. Don’t usually believe what the “experts” tell you.

5. Look for expert info. anyway.

6. Even if you’re in better condition than most 20 yr old athletes, don’t expect at 50+ to sleep most nights without using the toiletJ

7. Plan on God answering your prayers in the opposite way you would expect.

8. Love is Patient, Patient, Patient, Patient, Patient, Patient, Patient,……

My comments on each of these:

1. Duh!

2. I found that out (the cross in marriage) more than once.

3. In my 40s I thought I’d died quite enough in 30+ yrs, but God didn’t think so.

4. Experts are often wrong.

a. They were wrong about peanuts causing heart disease (frequent consumption reduces heart attacks 50%.

b. Same story with eggs & other high fat items

c. You don’t get thinner with low fat diets. (95% of people are heavier after 1 yr.)

d. More classroom education doesn’t make people more productive. (It’s shown to reduce creativity & many great advances come from drop-outs.)

e. Low sodium diets actually increase mortality, depression, & suicide.

f. Prescription medicine actually leads to 95% of senility symptoms.

5. There are some good experts that don’t believe the other “experts”

6. Well, I’m almost like 20J

7. I thought a poor wife would appreciate me more, which in some ways could be true, but I’m so thankful for the provision & deliverance that have come through my wife’s Parliamentarian Father & wealthy (in Congo) parents & relatives.

8. I still have a very happy marriage, but some days till 2 weeks ago it was only 22 hrs a day. After a couple hours of being sure she wanted to separate she finally listens to the truth, instead of what she was thinking, loved me passionately & tells me funny stories about what her mother told her. But I gained a lot of patience from 30 years of no good marriage for which I’m very thankful.

Here’s some funny (well mostly funny) things my wife told me her parents & even New Wave members said:

1. Her Catholic Mama said, how can I help register New Wave Ministry? I don’t know any scripture to answer questions.”

2. The gov’t said, “Explain house church”. Mama said, “It’s my house” “What happens when you grow?” “We go to another house & another & another.” “It’s the best way of evangelism!!”

3. Mama said to Baba (Dad), “I’ll tell you your faults!” He said, “OK” She thought for a while & said, “You don’t have any.”

4. Providence said, “They love each other so much!!! I don’t know why”

5. Really funny—Mama said to Providence, “Your husband is a good Christian, but you. No-No-No-No!”

6. When the police took my wife into custody, because the pastor wanted them to kill her, they were afraid when they found out her father was in the Parliament.

7. Her parents are Rwandans & Rwanda is opposed by DRCongo, but the President of DRCongo paid 600 people to fly to her father’s funeral, many from other nations.

Hope you enjoyed this.

But it’s hard to say I’m crazy, because all the great men of the Bible lived on the edge, making dangerous decisions, & usually decisions that created very dangerous enemies. Of course they tried to avoid danger, but like Paul in the basket & David often had to be rescued with the help of others & often by the intervention of God.

I’m on the edge again. The ministry account is down to about $35 after paying my secretary, because virtually all her work has been duplicating media, labeling, packing, shipping, etc. I cleaned out the business account buying 12 cameras at $60 ea. after I canceled a $744 computer purchase including 3 $80 cameras. But we have customers in at least 3 countries for cameras which support my travel & personal expenses here. The accounts are so low I made three $10 transfers & one $3 transfer last night to make sure I have enough for the check we wrote from my borrowed-from personal account for a bread-maker Ken found on-line for me, because I miss my whole wheat bread here in Rwanda.

But we have been faithful to send $300 for our April Burundi missionary budget & $200 so Bienvenu could feed his family & move to a $70/mo house after his daughter’s medical expenses wiped out his rent money & we just sent $300 for May + $100 for paying 2 guys to translate & print good teaching material for hundreds of new convert/leaders in the provinces of Burundi.

The $300 I brought from our ministry account in cash, which I borrowed for my travel expenses, I will soon pay back by giving money from sales or Mama’s loan for the $300 that was designated for the orphans in Uganda, but that is starting slow while we figure out by email how to make a long-term orphan benefiting investment.

Next we need more donations for $30-$60 shipping Jesus Videos, Audio Bibles, & House2House conference media to Burundi, & the same plus some great books to Samson, & my old friend Joseph, in Nigeria. We can support an orphan for about $30/mo, although with the $15/mo house & our orphanage director the first will cost more.

Here’s a letter about setting up a small orphanage in Uganda:

Hello Greg,

Yesterday, somebody rang me and asked me if it could be possible to get a digital Camera for buying, I told him that to wait one week. (We are starting business hoping to get a new store for just $38/mo.)

However, the lady i told you that she can look after the orphans is ready to do that kind of Job, she came once and told them about the word of God using the bible which you gave me. I had told her about…she accepted that as it also helps her get used to the word of God everyday.

I also do read this bible that you gave me very often, as I had told you that I shall be reading it for my spiritual growth, this bible has helped me. Those whom I gave the bible tracts, I promised them that they will be able to get full bibles next time.

May the good lord bless the work of your ministry.

Best wishes from your friend

Mvuyekure Justus

If you want to support an orphan we are using the cameras from our new Uganda business, to take & email photos to you. You can mail a check to the address below, or click here to donate through the web-site. There’s Media tab, that allows you to see photos & videos at www.newwaveministry.com. We can give you regular reports with photos & info about the orphan(s).

My business pays labor & shipping for all the media for here (Rwanda) & Goma when we ship here. So far my business pays all my travel expenses, but I often borrow by transferring back & forth from different accounts. To make the transactions clear I repay the exact amount that was borrowed. Right now the ministry account is even, but if I don’t get donations soon enough, I’ll borrow from my business or personal accounts as soon as I get the $744 refund or a personal gift, etc to pay the shipping for Burundi & Nigeria.

Progress in Rwanda:

We haven’t tracked down the leaders of all the churches that Emmanuel began, but my wife has a pastor, & an evangelist friend & she actually interpreted my sharing with them about our “New Waves” including church in houses. The Pastor, Innocent, is the one who started a work in a province that now has 200 people meeting in just 2-3 weeks. The evangelist, Jean-Claude, speaks some English, like my wife did when I met her.

They have warned us that we won’t have room in our home to gather them all & I said that’s why we have church in houses. They said, “Good!!” We are having a Seminar of teaching by discussion with my wife’s cousin interpreting tomorrow till our 2:00 lunch. I really am the most fruitful investing in just a few people, so this is a good way to start again in Rwanda.
