Paul's Story from Rwanda

Denise, the world's most innovative floor partner, arranged for Paul to share his story at Biola. We invited the whole school to join us, and by God's grace, 100 people showed up which was about 60 more than we expected. It was packed in that room!

Passionately recounting his life story, Paul wove the theme of God's faithfulness through his unbelievable experiences growing up in Africa, and told us about the non-profit organization that he has started to build a bridge between Africa and the US in order to help the situations that are happening in Africa.

Becky, the one with the amazing side ponytail, is the art secretary, and also is my RA-adopter. We go to lunch every few weeks, and she is a great friend.
Danika and Paul

Me, Jen, Hannah, Denise, and 4 people from Ethiopia who came to support Paul

Paul-- thank you for taking the time to come and talk to us-- the Spirit is ALIVE in your words and in your life, brother!

Shannon,
Thanks for putting together the evening with Paul and opening it to everyone. Let's say it again: "God can do anything!"
Let's do lunch again soon.
Love from
"the Amazing Side Ponytale"lady :)

I remember Paul. We met at College Briefing a few years ago. He came to Crave a couple times, and I ran into him at the Billy Graham Crusade a couple years ago. That's funny.
