Cast of Characters

If you're like me, it is hard to tell who is who here in Rwanda. Here is a partial cast of characters:

Missionaries

Kigali


  • Caleb & Jenny Beck - Caleb works in many circles of ATN.  Jenny works at Kics in the business and HR office as well as working in the Peace House for girls.
  • Heath & Rebecca Amos - Heath works at ATN teaching English the Bible & leads DBSs. Rebecca is a stay at home mom for their 3 kids. They live next door to the Becks in the same compound.
  • Marty and Lousie Koonce - Marty uses taekwondo as a way of leading people to Christ. The sport has been very successful in competition locally and internationally.  Lousie is a stay at home mom.


Musanze

A separate team works independently from the one in Kigali:

  • Crowson Murphy Christine
  • Millers Matt and Andrea

Unfortunately, we didn't meet or talk about them on this trip.


Rwandan Teammates

ATN

These are the locals who lead and work in ATN as described in previous posts:

  • Charles Kabeza - Spokesperson, fundraiser, founder of XtraMile
  • Charles Mapendo
  • Bunani Emmanuel
  • Charlotte - Peace House
  • Deborah - Peace House
  • Nzamutashya - Agriculture & wells
  • Gaston - Media
  • Jules


Center Peace

These are the leaders of the church next door to the Becks:

Behind the Scenes

In many countries like Rwanda, having people who help around the house is expected and normal.  These are the people that work for the Beck household allowing them to focus on Kingdom building activities:

  • Vadese - nighttime security
  • Olivie - cleaning and laundry
  • Mama Rainie - cooking



Short Term Missionaries

I've learned a lot from my fellow short term missionaries:

  • Gerry Taylor - Leadership, vision, confession, and passion
  • Donna Taylor - Generosity & amiability
  • David Bruce - Humor and saying the right things
  • Valinda Bruce - Affirmation and love for children
