Dear Family and Friends,When I got my passport, I realized that I will be going to Rwanda with my Missions Team in a few short months. I have my passport done and now I want to tell you what Jesus is doing in my life. I really want you to be a part of this life changing opportunity for me and for the people of Rwanda. God has something special planned and I hope you will want to be a part of it with me.
The people in Rwanda have had horrible things happen to them in my lifetime and I am not very old.. I want to do something in my lifetime that will make a difference in theirs. I want to share the love of Jesus with them. I want to tell them they are not alone. So many children in Rwanda have been left alone, no mama, no daddy. Yet the Bible says God will be a father to the fatherless, Psalm 68:5 says, “father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” I want them to know this is true.
Would you please pray and find out if God wants you to help me fulfill this call on my life? Would you please ask God what you can do to make a difference in the people of Rwanda?
I have been recycling cans and bottles since January of this year to try and raise my mission trip funds on my own. I have raised half of what I need to go to Rwanda. This means God wants me to learn to let others help me and teach me that I cannot do this on my own. I need your help too.
I need your prayers most of all.
Prayers that I will hear God clearly and plainly
Prayers for my health to continue to improve
Prayers for my Walk with Jesus to grow
Prayers for my team-members safety
Prayers for the lives we will touch
Prayers for P.E.A.C.E*
Would you consider being my prayer partner?
If it is possible and the Lord leads you, would you please make a donation to my Mission trip? Just $5.00 a week between now and November would go really Far., and if just 25 people would share $100.00 that would take care of all my expenses. Are you one of the 25 people I need? I have to send in 70% of my expenses by Sept. 28 , that is only one month from now I really need help quickly now..
I will be leaving for Rwanda, from Saddleback Church on November 28 and coming home, December 14, 2008. I have longed for this day all my life. Although I am the youngest member on my team, I know God has called me for a time such as this. Has He called you to come along side of me?
Thank you for praying for me and for the people of Rwanda.
Loving Jesus, Tirzah Walker

Mrs. Jeannette Kagame, First Lady of the Republic of Rwanda “As a nation, we’ve decided not to surrender. As a nation, we’ve seen the worst, and the people have learned a lot. We’ve taken stock of the past, and we’re building on it to change it. We are now on the path of hope, instead of despair. The path of hope includes partnership with the institution of the church and with individual churches in Rwanda."
