This past month has been a crazy one for me, from visiting various project sites to traveling to Uganda, Khartoum, meeting with the Vice President of Sudan and having a ministry conference for our team.
All my travel went well and it was a blessing to see so much and visit so many places. Last week we had our first ever ministry conference with 80 staff from all over South Sudan. Some of these folks had never even met each other so it was really a blessing to have everyone in the same place at the same time. We had a great time of games, worship, spiritual nourishment, and fellowship.

Another blessing was to have my cousin Katie come out for a couple of weeks and volunteer. She did a great job and it was really fun to share a bit of my life with her. Hopefully she will come next summer as well.
Nairobi is cold these days (in the 60s) but Sudan is still pretty warm. In fact, you can be praying that Sudan would receive rain. This year has been very dry and although it makes it easier to work, it is very hard on the people as they plant most of their food.
We continue to pray for peace here and for the hand of our Lord to touch the lives of the people in Sudan.

So that is why you haven't updated your blog in ages... you've been super busy! Glad to hear what you are up to. And I am happy for Katie's adventure. Oh, to be able to just pick up and go... instead of pick-up and go x5. :)
Glad to hear you've been safe through it all. Also exciting to know that the ministry conference was able to happen. It's great to see the photo full of people from all over able to come together for a common purpose.
