Sunday in Kitgum

Awesome day! We all had a wonderful breakfast at Erica's house. We made the trek over to CC Kitgum, where we were met by 80 to 100 Sunday schoolers and about 30 adults. Pastor Zane and the congregation greeted us and we worshiped together. Our team sang a worship song, performed a drama, and Pastor Jeff shared the Word. A man named Bossco gave his life to Jesus! After church, we ate a great lunch with one of our translators, Pastor Zane, Brian, Jill, Gregg, Josephine, and all of Zane's kids. (the unfamiliar names are fellow missionaries visiting Zane). Then we went to the Tender Trust orphanage, which is run by Lois. Lois has been in Africa throughout many of the wars. She is doing such a good work. The orphanage was one of the cleanest buildings thst we have been in. When we were teaching the kids, they know more about the Bible then most adults. It was amazing and we were so blessed. When we left, we went back to the house to pack things up. Very early tomorrow we are flying about 100 miles north to Sudan. We are very excited about what the Lord is going to do. We are sure that more awesome and amazing things will happen in our lives, and the lives of the nationals. Tomorrow we will be speaking with some of the SPLA chaplains. They will tell us their testimony. God has done awesome things in their lives!

Once we get to our base in Nimule, Sudan, we will be able to determine whether or not we will have cell/internet service. If we have it, we will post by Tuesday. However, if we do not get service, the next time we post will be while traveling home. Pray that we have great phone service so we can post! Also pray for the health of the team, as a few have cold symptoms. In addition, pray for safe travel and a safe working environment. We praise God for all He has done and we know that His will be done. God bless...
