September 9th, 2013; saw me and another missionary at the MAF hanger very early in the morning, preparing to fly to S. Sudan. This was Stacey's first time into S. Sudan, and I was going with her to try and help her through all the travel needed to arrive at the Melut base.
What a priviledge and an honor, as I watched her sit in the co-pilot seat, with such excitement, I was reminded of the excitment I felt the first time I flew into SS.
It was also a change for me to go and see friends I haven't been able to see for awhile, to spend time with S. Sudanese people I love so very much. It was a time of going in with no agenda other than to be there for Stacey. But God had so much more in mind. So I take you on a photo journey of my trip, and the things God had in store.
Villages on the side of the Nile
The beauty of going down the While Nile river in a boat. The river was like glass, as you can see in this last photo, the clouds are a reflection in the river. The boat ride from Malakal to Melut is about 4 hours.
Enjoying our trip down the river, looking at all that God has created. Even saw a Croc!!!!
A wonderful reunion with a dear friend, she gave birth 3 days after I left to this beautiful, healthy little boy below.
A unexpected reunion with Abuk, one of the students I taught when in Thiangrial
And another unexpected reunion with other students from my time in Thiangrial
Spending time with the women
Spending time with our team
Having God open an opportunity for me to go by river to Thiangrial, for those who don't know that is the first base I was stationed at. Yea the boat was sitting kind of low in the water, with team mate Jon and his daughter Rose.
On the last night before I started my journey back to Kenya, the Master Painter (God) was painting the sky with one of His magnificent sunsets.
Thank you Father, for the time I had in S. Sudan, thank you for using me as your vessel, and for the things you showed me, taught me, and how you drew me closer to you every step of the way.
"The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. The speak without a sound or word, their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone thoughtout the earth and their words to all the world." Psalm 19:1-4
There is no one on this earth that has not seen the GLORY OF GOD!!!!!!!!
