Starting Monday I will be off traveling to Kampala, Uganda and then on to Rwanda for Global Trauma Recovery Institute. I welcome your prayers for myself, my students, and the attendees. In addition, Diane Langberg and myself will be leading a group of 12 Americans (10 GTRI students) on a listening/dialogue immersion trip throughout Rwanda. Some of the highlights of our trip(s) will include,
- 2 day trauma healing community of practice in Kampala with the Bible Society of Uganda
- 3 day trauma healing community of practice in Rwanda with the Bible Society of Rwanda
- Afternoon mini-conference with pastors in Southern Province, Rwanda
- Day with the newly forming Association of Christian counselors in Rwanda
- Visits to NGOs working with trauma victims and street children
- Church services
- Visits to genocide memorials
- Visit to a refugee camp
- Numerous conversations, formal and informal over the next two weeks
I will make some attempts to update all on my trip as I go. You can follow me here and @PhilipGMonroe or @BTSCounseling. If you are interested in seeing more about the GTRI engagement model, check out this short video. And, if you would like BTS to continue doing this kind of missional work, feel free to go here and donate before the end of our fiscal year, June 30.
