Violette also blessed 30 members of 5 local churches with training in Trauma Counseling. Gabi Van Schoyck had previously translated a 19 page set of notes that Violette had sent ahead and Barb and Gabi and I shared the translating for the 4 day seminar.

The training included practical break out sessions for sharing with one another and for role playing. Even before receiving their certificates of participation, the seminar participants were sharing and using the knowledge they were gaining to minister to others.

The Florida, Wisconsin, Rwanda team was still here for the Godly Woman class graduation on May 29th. The visitors baked the cakes for the reception and Pastor David Rogers presented the message. The women of the class had a wonderful day showing their craft items made during the class. Their parting song at the end of the graduation ceremony was enlivened by a round of hugs and kisses for each other, for Mme Gesson, Barb and me and for the visitors and some of the invited guests sitting nearby!
