CASA January 2006 report from Robina

God is doing wonderful things in Rwanda through people like Robina, Frank, Immaculate, and others... I want to post this report so anyone who is interested in Come and See Africa ministry can have an idea what the Christian Fellowship House for National University of Rwanda is doing. This house is less than 2 months old, but it is doing wonderful things to brining God's people together. In my mind the secret for the CFH is prayers. They have 5:30 AM morning prayers and devotion and open the door for 24 hours a day for Prayer Closet. God will honor their effort. I thank God for Robina, her love for God, her creativity. Please continue to pray for her and for the house activities.

***Robina's report***
VISITS

CASA has visited 2 churches and these are LIFE TRNSIFORMATION CHURCH and ASSEMBLIES OF GOD. These churches have given us a great welcome and they have promised us a great corporation.

I have shared a lot with people from LIFE TRANSIFORMATION CHURCH and our sharing concerned the word of GOD. among the people that came also the pastor of LTC was inclusive. 10 People dropped at the house to share with me the word of GOD and we even prayed together.

More than 20 came from different churches and also students of NUR came and are still coming. I have shared and prayed with 5 girls of NUR and they received a blessing from CASA.

PRAYER CLOSET:

We are so much blessed because our prayer closet. I have received 8 people. One was a pastor and another one was an Evangelist from Restoration church of Kigali and the rest are UNR students. Now there is also a Mum from the NUR who will finish her prayers on Monday.

MEETINGS

CASA has hosted four meetings from different groups and these groups are:
1. student leaders
2. New Generation
3. Pastor’s meeting (2)
4. LT Church choir
5. CASA staff meeting

COUNSELING SESSIONS

I have carried different sessions of counseling and some I have finished with them. These are:
1. 4 students of NUR
2. 2 mothers
3. 1 father (old man of 39 years)

There are others that am still carrying on.

BIBLE READING

Am done with one lady called Jane. She is a primary four drop out and now she can trace cite the bible very well. Soon she will be able to participate in sharing the word of GOD with us in our devotions.

DEVOTIONS

We carry our morning devotions daily from 5:30 – 6:30AM in the morning due to different reasons. These are:
1. Students have to prepare for their classes as early as possible
2. The business people have to go and prepare themselves so early
3. It is a season of planting , those who dig have also to do it.
After seeing that their request of changing the time was worthy, I had to abide with the situation wholeheartedly.

Since 13th Dec 2005, a register was set fro those that come daily for the morning devotion. I also record in that register the preacher and the sermon preached.

STUDENTS IN THE HOUSE

CASA is a blessing to students. A minute per minute am receiving students from NUR A good example is today 22nd Jan when 14 of them came directly to visit the ministry. They all came together from the Heart of worship and came to the ministry.

Student’s leaders also came and we talked a bout the big gospel campaign that will commence on 5th FEB 2006 up to 19th FEB 2006.
They come in time to time especially evening ours after their classes and recording them is not easy due to their frequent visitations.


PEOPLE CAME TO THE HOUSE.

We received numerous number of people of different dignitaries and we hope more are coming. Those that came are;
1. The bishop of EER and his delegation
2. Two professors of NUR
3. A police commander of BUTARE Province
4. An army officer from Kigali (CAPTAIN)
5. A journalist from Radio Salus (NUR’s Radio)
We hope more are coming.


PERSONAL REPORT

I believe that nothing am doing in Butare apart from supporting CASA and for sure to me I fell am doing my best to the extent of creating other new things that I found not existing. These are like counseling, teaching some people how to read and cite the bible, allowing to be waking up at 5:00 AM to prepare for the devotion and more others as we shall be communicating.

My prayer is that may my good Lord grant me the anointing of creativity, wisdom and favor that I may real discover more new things. I believe my request God will grant it.

I visited Radio Salus (NUR’s RADIO) and in very few hours our announcements and adverts will be hear in the whole of RWANDA. To me that is not enough I hope God will open my eyes to see other strategies of how CASA can reach her goals.

About the number of hours I work, its hard one to evaluate him or her self but I surely know that I work. Just imagine am like a mother at home, very early in the morning am out of the bed for devotion and I go to bed almost mid night. One can wonder what am I doing for all these hours? But a mother at home can easily answer that question.
No week end since I receive students on Saturday and on Sunday having Agape.

JACK is doing good in fact he has sent you greetings. He has lost some weight due to malaria he suffered last December for few days. He recovered and he is blessed.

PASCAZI is one the happiest person I have at CFH. She is missing pastor Chris so much and her prayers is that my pastor be back as soon as possible.
She is waiting to see Frank shifting and she begins her classes of tailoring. She is in love with me and it also challenges me how she really loves me. I also pray to be a good mother to her because she calls me all the names she wants. Some times Robina or Aunt or Mum. Which ever she comes across she calls me.

She is also in good terms with FRANK and the wife with Petite their House girl. She also set a day fro prayers, every Friday she has to fast and pray also Petite prays on Tuesdays.





TESTIMONIES

Recently Frank told me that he met a pastor and they congratulated him that CASA is training good Christians due to the morning devotion that we make daily.
For the students it is so great. One evangelist who came for private prayers told me that he has never seen a wonderful moment like the one he had at CASA.

There is a day when God surprised me when a lady called Jane brought me a baby who was almost dying, the baby had all the signs of a dead person but he was still breathing. Jane brought her son while crying and that was immediately after devotion. I prayed for the baby and immediately he came back to his senses. They took him to the Hospital and the following day he was discharged.

Personally CASA blesses me every day and I hope for the best.

FINANCE

My dear ones for sure do me a favor to give you a financial report with effect from FEBUARY 2006. Am not a signatory of the money at the bank, so how do you expect me to know that? Yes Frank can tell me that we have this amount or that we have deposited this amount. But my request is that you grant me that favor if you find it worthy. For I thought that IMMACULATE will be doing that monthly.
If my request granted let me know.


PRAYER REQUESTS

1. Pray for God’s presence at CFH for I wish it to be a quenching point for those that are thirsty for Christ.
2. My trip to Kenya and to get what the Lord wants CASA to get.
3. Pascazi is of feelling well for she has flu
4. God to give more wisdom and favor especially with students.
5. In mid Feb, CASA has to present her vision, mission and also to share the word of God at Radio salus. So my dear ones pray for me as am preparing my self for it.
