Have you ever cleared an Air Strip

Clearning the air strip is a team effort, it is not done with equipment it is done by hand. 20 plus of us went out the day before the plane was due in to make sure the strip was landable. We spent 4 hours clearing, praising the Lord for His provisions of the air strip, and sharing Jesus.

Back Home in Thiangrial

I am back and it has been wonderful. To see how God has been working, to greet all my Thiangrial family again, and to start teaching. God's abundant blessings. Many greetings, many tears so grateful to our Lord and Savior for bringing us all back safely.

A day in Thiangrial starts before day break, preparing for the day of teaching, moving water from tanks, into filtering systems, preparing breakfast, devotionals with the team, and giving the day to the Lord.

School started September 1st, and we thank God for the safe return of all the students. God has provided a new building and we were able to start school there. God's perfect timing, upon our return the Tukel we taught in was leaning at about a 60 degree angle.

From Malakal to Thiangrial by boat on the Nile River

Most of the trip was sunshine, but about half the way there we got caught in a down pour and were under tarps and praying that the food would not get wet. What a blessing to have this time to reflect on our Creator, and see His mighty hand.

On This Rock

A village about 1 hour from Yabus

"...and on this rock I will build my
church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." Matthew 16:18

We went and worshiped here one Sunday with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Yabus and my time there

Beautifully green, beautiful mountains, rivers, and God's children.

I was able to go out to surrounding villages and spend time with the women and children. Teaching literacy classes to many. The challenges are many for the people, but through it all you see such hope and joy in their faces. Why you ask? Because they know Jesus.

Many river trips and as you can see from the picture it is no easy thing to get across this river in rainy season. God provided every time we needed to get across.

Going to Yabus

This is the river that we cross from the landing strip to get to our compound. Our compound

consists of a brand new secondary school, housing (Tukel's or Safari Tents) for missionaries, student dorms along with staff housing, a community eating area, outdoor shower and outdoor toilet.

It is now rainy season in Sudan, so what once was all brown no is plush green, with much mud. Transportation is limited during this time so we are limited on when and where we travel.

What a privilege to be going to Yabus for the next 1 1/2 to 2 months. I am excited to see how God will work in me and through me. I eagerly anticipate what God has in store.

I will be joining a team, Eli, Bethany, and their boys; Isaac and Evan are currently in Nairobi awaiting a new baby. Phalice is the administrator for the secondary school and Katie is teaching literacy.

Pray for our health, and that we will bear much fruit.

Going Home to Sudan

I am released!!!!!!!. On January 18, 2004 God released me from my chains, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE A MORE POWERFUL MEANING OF THOSE WORDS!!!!!!,

Monday He released me to go back home to Sudan. The doctor said "Debbie you can go back to Sudan." I cried, I jumped for joy, I PRAISED my Savior Chirst Jesus I THANKED Christ Jesus, I danced with Jesus, and I stand in AWE of Abba Father, The Great I Am, His perfect timing, His grace and mercy. Thank you Jesus.

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He will enable you as He wants you to “be”

To Him be all the Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
