The Sudan Team

In February the Lord lead me to be apart of the Sudan team in Nairobi.  God showed me that for this short time my gifts would be better used here.  What a blessing it was to be a part of the Logistics team and to work with my Kenyan brothers and sisters.  I would like you to meet the logistics team.

Right before I started my trip to the US, the Sudan team had their SLC (Spiritual Life Conference) up at a beautiful location called Brackenhurst.  God has created such beauty, and His provision for this conference was outside Nairobi at about 8000 feet.  Thank you Jesus

I am stateside now, and enjoying being home in Silverton Oregon, with my family and my church family.  When we walk with the Lord we are always on a journey.  I will be home for 9 months, and excited to see what God has in store during this time.

Please continue to pray for Sudan; as they move forward to becoming their own country, pray for strong leaders who know the Lord, for wise decisions as they rebuild the infrastructure, and please continue to pray for peace.

ALOT THAT GOD HAS SHOWN ME!!

It has been quite some time since I updated my blog.  Please accept my apologizes.  I will try and bring you up to date on what the last 2 months have looked like.

Praise the LORD.  Praise the LORD, O my soul.  I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Psalm 146:1-2

Since December there has been many opprotunities to be a part of what God is doing.  My hearts desire is to be in Sudan, but God has given me the opportunty to be a part of what He is doing in Kenya.  The relationships He has given are wonderful but also hard, as I have had many farewells, and there have been alot of tears shed not only from me but from all of those God has brought into my life.  I would not change anything. 

There is such a hunger in Sudan and Kenya to know God deeper, and to be able to be a part of the Pastor's conference was a blessing and a priviledge. 

"He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.  The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.  The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, bu He frustrates the ways of the wicked." Psalm 146:7-9
