The old west

Last week I was able to head into a new area of Sudan where we are starting some medical infrastructure projects. The trip went very well with no issues but it is a very tough place and we will face many challenges there - hence we need lots of prayer.

Here is an article about the area; Cattle-rustling leads to warfare in southern Sudan : http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LM932601.htm

While I was there, several children were stolen by one tribe, so the other tribe got all of there men, all of their guns and went after them. Well here we are driving down the road and all these guys come running toward us with guns. We weren't interesting to them but it still makes you think for a second. It reminds me with out the love of God there is unrest and ciaos.

more later...

You don't write for ages and then you post "they were coming at us with guns." Wowsa! We're praying for you, your safety and Sudan.

Wow... that must have been startling! So glad you're safe as you continue to do God's work.
