Sorry it has been so long since an update! Rather limited internet access.
We have left Sudan and much of our hearts behind. It is too soon for me to really process my thoughts and feelings, and I want to tell so many stories, but I don't want this to become sentimental.
What I will say is God is very present in Sudan. He has been present in the war and the suffering and He is present in the current peace. But I beg you to pray for continued peace in Sudan. The people there are your brothers and sisters as well as mine, because God is a God of all people. I don't care how cliche that sounds because I haven't really understood it until now.
He loves Monday and Boy and Onestar and Condition and Wadupe so much more than I do. These people want peace and I ask that you join me in praying for Sudan over these next couple months as referendum approaches along with political unrest.
I will be back in the states very soon! Right now I am in Mombasa Kenya, and I fly out next Sunday. We are all doing well except Allie and I are feeling a little stomach sick from cheeseburgers. I am pretty positive I am lactose intolerant now. :) Love to all of you. I miss you and I can't wait to rejoin you so very soon!

Abby,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your blogs, you have shown us all a part of Africa that we may never see. We have seen the smiles of the children of Wadupe and the love they all have for our Lord through your words and your updates. Thank you so much. Be Safe, hurry home, I know your family is missing you!
