Life in Thiangrial


The living is hard, but I rest on Philippians 4:13:
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
This is a picture of the compound I live on. You can't see the fence, but it is made out of Balsa Wood, the lightest wood I think I have every picked up. I am on a extended camping trip.
Praise God for His Provisions.



I Thank God for the VBS children at EBC, who broke piggy banks, asked parents and others to raise the support needed to buy this tent my home. God Bless

My tent is wonderful, and God has provided a bed, plastic drawers to keep my clothes in, a plastic table and chairs, and oh I don’t want to forget my bucket bathroom, for the nights.



We cook over a charcoal fire open flame in the open, we have a tarp for protection from the Sun and this is where we eat. The days seem to go by and at the end of the day I wonder where the day has gone.







Arrival in Thiangrial Sudan


Thiangrial my home. Arrival on Februay 6th, 2008.
God's provisions for everything to come in. We were meant by a group of students and villagers, and they helped carry all
the things to the compound, which was a 45 minute walk






Dining Room and Living Room

In Memory of Dr. David Masters

We received a message on our satellite phone early on April 1,2008 that Dr. David Masters, an English doctor and SIM-Sudan colleague, had passed away in the night.
He and his wife, Irene,have been stationed in Doro, Eastern Sudan, an SIM base. They've been part of a large medical ministry team there. This couple recently joined the SIM-Sudan team in January of this year but they were among our most experienced missionaries. Dr. David and Irene spent 19 years serving in Congo and then 19years serving in England.
They arrived in Doro on February 4, 2008. The day before he died, Dr. Masters rode his bicycle over an hour away to visit a village, taking care of their sicknesses and sharing the love of Christ. Please keep Irene and the Doro team in your prayers as Dr. Masters will be greatly missed.

MEET THE WHOLE TEAM

Gods team with brothers and sisters from Ethiopia, Wales, New Zealand, England, Kenya, Canada and America. Some are newborn and some are...experienced. But what a terrific and stretching time it was as we grew to know each other and heard what the past year has been like for each other. A new year is ahead so please continue to pray for the peace of Sudan to hold and the love of Christ to be shared honestly and faithfully through our lives.

God's Abundant Blessings

Worshipping in three different languages. I can only imagine what it will be like when every tongue and every nation worship together!!!!! Praise God

Our time at Brackenhurst was amazing. A time of the whole team to meet and get to know one another. A time of hearing God's amazing grace in our lives. A time of praising our Lord and Savior, a time of worshipping Him a time of prayer.

Beautiful countryside, beautiful flowers, seeing another part of God's wonderful creation.




Brakenhurst is located outside Nairobi about an hours drive.
There are tea fields all around. One of Kenya's main exports is tea. It is wonderful. We were truly blessed to have this time as a team.

Everything that has breath Praise the LORD

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:29-31
