Off to Meet the Need
As we approach Thanksgiving, I am once again reminded of the inestimable privilege it is to be a part of God's work. While I have an overwhelming amount of things to be grateful for, that one has been at the top of my praise list this Thanksgiving season.
The holidays always remind me of the value of family. I have been blessed with a wonderful family in the physical sense, and I have also been blessed with the opportunity to see the family of Christ all over the world. I am looking forward to the privilege of spending time with that family, and ministering hope and encouragement, as we head to Sudan on Friday.
Our schedule is pretty straightforward–leave the USA on November 23, and return on December 5. After subtracting travel time, that should give us about 10 days in-country. Those 10 days should be pretty full, as we travel down to Kadugli to view the land we will be building on, meet with government officials to take care of administrative details of the project, and price supplies, labor, and transportation. Lord willing, we will also have the chance to meet with Sudanese pastors, as well as the widows and orphans of martyrs, to expand our impact even before the building project begins.
Please pray for us! Here are some specific requests:
- For safety and travel mercies as our team goes to an area of the world known for its danger and sickness.
- For wisdom and guidance as we plan and coordinate with other ministries on this huge project.
- For the leading of the Holy Spirit as we discern where to give funds and supplies.
Stay tuned! I will keep you updated wherever I can find an internet connection.
