April 26, 2008 We Were On Holy Ground

Who would have ever known what was going to happen on that day. There is nothing that takes Our Heavenly Father by surprise. God’s right hand was upon us, and He let us see a Miracle that day. By human standards there is no reason we are alive. But we don’t look to humans, we look to HIM the ALL POWERFUL, ALL MIGHTY; ALL SOVEREIGN, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, THE GREAT I AM, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS

“He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under His feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind, He made darkness His covering, His canopy around Him the dark rain clouds of the sky…The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot His arrows and scattered the enemies… He reached down from on high and took hold of me; (us) He drew me (us) out of deep waters. He rescued me (us) from my (our) powerful enemy from my (our) foes who were too strong for me (us). They confronted me (us) in the day of my (our) disaster, but the LORD was my (our)support. He brought me (us) out into a spacious place; He rescued me (us) He delighted in me (us).” Psalm 18 9-12, 16-19

To God be all the Glory. Glorify your name Father in all the World

Baptized in the Nile

God Pod's arrive after being baptized in the Nile River!

What are God Pod's? They are like an IPod filled with God's word spoken in Dinka. Yes that's right all 40 of them were baptized in the Nile, we rushed to unpack them and put them out in the
hot Sudan sun to try and get them dried out. We prayed, they were filled with water. God answered our prayers, after three days they were dried out; we pressed the green button and jumped for joy shouting our Praises to God as all 4o of them turned on and worked.

The sounds of God's Word in Dinka filled our compound, along with worship songs. HE IS WORTHY OF ALL OUR PRAISE

Smiling faces voices raised in Worship to Our Lord and Savior.

We thank God for the baptism of the God Pods, had they arrived dry they would of stayed in the box until we distributed them, but God said no people are going to hear about them far and wide and they did.

Far and Wide God's Word started to be heard as the students used a bull horn to broadcast. Young and old, man and women, the sweet sound of God's Word in Dinka is heard everywhere. God is drawing many to Him as they listen and worship Him.

Thank You Jesus All for His Glory

Hippo's singing and sunset on the Nile

Hippo’s anyone. I go to sleep listening to them sing at night, and sometimes they even wake me up.

God's wonderful creature

Meet Ward and Mona

We were blessed with a short term husband and wife team in March, Ward was only able to stay for a week, but Mona stayed until the end of March. God used them in a mighty way. They jumped in and helped where ever was needed and even took on some of the teaching responsibilities. During this same time Ryan and Andrew (part of the Sudan team) based in Malakal came down and started to access the water system that was put in for the village last December. So we had a full compound but we were all blessed to be together

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
