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 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”

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

Sunset on the Nile

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
