pearls: December 2009
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 December 2009. I've been really thinking today about how Jesus was born. homeless! Then He was a refugee. You can't get much more poorer than that. Then poor Mary giving birth with all the animals staring at her and Joseph having to deliver Jesus. Woah! I don't think dudes typically do that in Jewish tradition. Or any tradition for that matter! Wednesday, 23 December 2009. 2) Grace also comes by honoring the gifts in others. We get fueled up when we recognize and give credit to how God is ...

pearls: Refreshing
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2010/03/refreshing.html
Friday, 12 March 2010. I sometimes find it refreshing to discover there are places in the world where American culture has failed to infiltrate society. I am certainly in one of them. Any movie reverence. completely missed. Any movie reference. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Cinderella, the classics, all of them. not a part of the culture at all. The Oscars? People get a gold statue of a little man who ends up becoming a door stopper years later? Of course I'll never mention what it means. Greg On the Run.

pearls: September 2009
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 September 2009. Oh yes I do! Alison just learned how to make butter, yogurt, and ice cream! Monday, 14 September 2009. I'm pretty relational. My family and friends mean the world to me. So while I am doing great stuff. tra la la ing around the world. and living my dream smack in the middle of Africa. there is still a cost. My cost is being 2 days journey from my family, and a ridiculous scattering of my closest friends who are considerably spread across four countries. But I would be so wro...

pearls: March 2010
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 March 2010. Another day at a coffee shop. Yesterday I was in town meeting a young leader that I disciple. At the store I found a man holding his fingers and in obvious pain. He mainly spoke Kirundi, so I invited him to sit down and tell us what happened. He had just slammed his fingers in a car door. Ouch! Been there myself). We told him that our God heals those in pain and asked if we could pray. He agreed. We prayed. He was healed! And wants to know Jesus personally. Friday, 12 March 2010.

pearls: August 2009
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 August 2009. So the week has passed…wow, the first month back has passed! Meanwhile, I’m finding various places of belonging, but know that it will still be a while before I am fully settled and make more friends. Wednesday, 12 August 2009. I'm not afraid of malaria. But I'm not afraid for another reason. He said he felt an intense heat all over his body (more than the usual dry-season hot room sweat) and then everything left his body! So I'm not afraid of malaria. Wednesday, 5 August 2009.

pearls: October 2009
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 October 2009. The one in front of you. I want to remain spiritually, emotionally, physically, economically, whatever. available to the needs of people. And never be too busy or rush pass an opportunity to love a person in front of me. Monday, 12 October 2009. Stories from the Streets. Last week I went upcountry to visit the YFC orphanage. It has been 2 months since I've left the city, and I was thrilled for the breath of cooler air. I'm Amani" He replied. When Freddy asked where he lived A...

pearls: November 2009
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 November 2009. Simon was here for an awesome whirl-wind 2 weeks. Meg has moved back to the USA. and now I begin the new solo journey. Loved this last team GLO pic of us! Tuesday, 10 November 2009. For the last year I've thought I was 27. I think I dreamed 5 or 6 times throughout the year that it was my birthday and I'd wake up thinking "finally I can honestly say that I am 27 and not forget how old I am. and then I realize it was only a dream.". Friday, 6 November 2009. Oh I love Burundi.

pearls: UK... Norway... Hazaa!
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2010/01/uk-norway-hazaa.html
Monday, 25 January 2010. UK Norway. Hazaa! Have you ever had God do something for you that you didn't even ask for? I mean completely blow your socks off with His love? That was my recent trip to the UK and Norway. Everything lined up, I saw so many people I love in just a few days, literally ran into friends on the streets of Bristol, and my heart is overflowing with the fun that was had. Then we prayed for his hip even though he kept insisting that one was too big for God. (! View my complete profile.

pearls: Fuel for Encouragement
http://burundipearls.blogspot.com/2009/12/fuel-for-encouragement.html
Wednesday, 23 December 2009. I was just listening to a Bill Johnson podcast (as I often do) and I need a place to process. no one to talk to so here we go. (disclaimer. 99.9% of this comes directly from the Word or Bill.). Grace is given to us not simply as unmerited favor. but abundant grace comes for our encouragement. to build and strengthen us. Grace turns us into something before we can do anything. we must become before we can do. This comes in 3 ways:. It really does build me up! 3) We receive gra...
