On June 7, we will be holding an Evening Ice Cream Social so that you can hear about our upcoming trip to Nairobi, Kenya to visit the Amani ya Juu ministry! We would love to share with you about what we will be doing, information about the ministry, and ways to pray for us while we are away. Please come and bring anyone else whom you feel would be interested in hearing about this trip.
There will also be some lovely Amani products available for sale!
If you want more details about this evening get together, please drop us an e-mail at the address you see above.
We hope to see you then.

Welcome, Miriam
We are extremely pleased to welcome a new member to our DC Amani Safari team. I'll let Miriam speak for herself:
Miriam
Washington, DC
"This trip to Africa -- my first ever -- means a lot to me as I've been working for a mission church of the Anglican Church of Rwanda (Church of the Resurrection in Washington, DC) for two years. I first caught wind of the Amani project back in 2005, when a mutual friend asked me to send driving directions to the church to Rachel, and explained some about her work with Amani. Since then, I've been faithfully purchasing bags, potholders, aprons and the like to give as gifts when special occasions roll around. I even tried my hand at selling stoles to pastors at a recent conference when Rachel had to leave the table. Now I get to go see where all these beautiful products are made! The relational aspect of this trip really appeals to me: I am greatly looking forward to meeting, learning from, and praying with my sisters in Christ halfway around the globe, as well as traveling with my sisters from here in Washington, DC and seeing how we can better minister to our city with this message of peace."
