Wonderful Wednesday!

A few things....

It was a wonderful Bible study yesterday with the women! I got into the room early and they were looking at the English portion of their song books...and we sang and sang and sang... so fun! The lesson went well, they even understood my English (they're now used to the German pronunciation) and we learned that it's not really a good idea to sell your birthright for beans... it seems so silly, but don't we all do that in one way or another? Give up the important promises, blessings of Christ for something immediate, not as good, and temporary... it was a great reminder. We prayed over Sudan and families and played musical chairs...well, sort of.... going with the bean theme from the lesson we played musical beans... We were all laughing very very hard!

Do you love coffee? Do wish you could help orphans? Guess what you can! And all from the comfort of your own home... amazing... Check out the link on the side to His Voice for Sudan and check out the coffee program... check it out... you can help orphans with their schooling simply by drinking coffee... I'll let His Voice give you the full idea!

I had a great visit with Pastor Jackson and his family yesterday evening, sipping tea under a mango tree, and just listening to his heart for Sudan. He asked me to ask for people to really be praying for Sudan, for ministry here, for families... I'll try and summarize it all as best I can sometime soon! I'm trying to figure out how to put an hours worth of prayer requests and hopes into a few sentences, it's not easy. Just know that your prayers are so important. God listens, God moves, it always blows me away how much He does, wow...

It now seems I'll go to Lura tomorrow but also come back again so we can gather a few things... like a bed! What a good idea... if I'm going to sleep in a tent the size of a hut it might be nice to not sleep on the ground! Pastor Jackson will come with me and introduce me to the women and children, Christine will teach a Bible lesson, and I'll get to know people and help find a good place for the tent! wowie! :)

Ok, it's time to get a few more illustrations done...
First my web browser decided to show up in German, now the blog is in Dutch!!!

Blessings!
