P.E.A.C.E.

Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life and pastor of Saddleback megachurch, has been here in Rwanda this week. His foundation has a new NGO to do development work through the local church. They call it the P.E.A.C.E. Plan.

Haven't quite figured out what they're doing, but we think their hearts are in the right place and we're sure praying for their success. They're going to connect hundreds of muzungu small groups with churches all over Rwanda. (The 3 big hotels in Kigali are extremely excited about the P.E.A.C.E. plan and all recently raised their rates 30%.)

If nothing else, they're getting really good press. Our church, a key site on the American Evangelical Development Tour Circuit, was swarmed by cameramen from the FOX News troop they brought to Kigali. If you see us on TV you can take another vote on the q-tip/porcupine debate. And we promise not to tell anyone you've been watching FOX News.
