Seasons of Change

We've arrived in Canada safely for the first stage in our year-long home assignment just as the seasons are changing. The leaves on the trees here are beautiful. And like the changing of the seasons, our lives have had some significant changes in the last 3 months. We got married on the coast of Kenya on 05 July 2008 and were in South Sudan briefly, pursuing the Lord's calling toward ministry with 2 unreached tribes.

Among these people groups, there is a very low literacy rate, limited exposure to the Bible, neither schools nor educational opportunities. For one group, no published materials exist in their language.

Please pray that as we are in North America, we will connect with people well and paint a vivid portrait of our ministry vision. Pray that people's hearts would be stirred by the Lord as we communicate about these tribes... that they would be excited with us as this new season unfolds.

We would also like to stay in touch with people who read this blog by updating posted information more regularly (2-3 times per month). From Sudan, we will try to give snapshots of our life there. From North America, we will try to give information about our location and schedule. And from anywhere, we will ask for prayer and support in our shared mission. We would love to hear from you, perhaps introduce ourselves more thoroughly, and share more about the Lord's work in Sudan. May God bless you... thanks for reading!
