Here in Rwanda ushers have a much larger role. They make sure people fill up the seats one after another. And when the row is full, the usher directs the next person to the end of the row behind—even if it’s the spouse of the person who sat in the last seat of the previous row! So interesting to observe. Today I sat at the end of an empty row because I had to leave early. I really messed up the ushers. ☺
Their other job is to keep an eye out for people they don't know—not an easy task when there are about 2000 people at church on a Sunday! If the people are visitors, the ushers take down their names and where they are from, so when it’s time for visitor introductions, the visitor can be called by name, stand, and wave to everyone.

My Ministry
- This is an album of pictures of my work. I am a registered nurse working at Kibogora Hospital in Rwanda, Africa since 2007. In 2012 the hospital administration team asked me to partner with the neonatal nursing team to decrease the infant mortality rate at the hospital. Through bedside nursing and nursing education over the past four years we have been working together to improve the quality of care the babies receive. We have reduced the infant mortality rate from 9.6% to 5.4% and have reduced the length of stay for most infants. I have loved working with the nurses, mothers, and babies and watching hope spring up in the community that if they bring a sick or premature baby to the hospital there is a very good chance the baby will go home well. It has been amazing to watch good nursing techniques and God performing miracles making a difference in our small corner of the world!
