Thank you for praying...

This is a tense time for Sudan...but not without HOPE
We hear the bomber plane flying over us daily this week on it's way to an area in the south called Abeyei. Please pray for peace to reign in Sudan.
Our area of Nuba Mountains is also in need of prayer as both people running for Governor say they won the elections. The man that the Carter Center endorsed as winning fairly is a War Crimes convict. God help us all here.

And He will. He is so present and he reminded me of this on Monday when a little boy came to see me in the clinic. A Muslim orphan, he was hit by a rock in the eye and blinded last year. His guardian didn't even notice he was blind until the teacher made note of it. It was obvious on exam; unable to even see my fingers in front of him...
He now sees, thanks be to God. We prayed and simply asked God to heal him and He, being the marvelous Surgeon he is, completely restored his sight. His Arabic name means "Future". It reminded me that God has a good future to see His love here in Sudan, and a great future for each of us--amidst the struggles.

HOPE... we can have HOPE amidst any difficulty, trial, blindness, sickness, tragedy...
GOD LOVES YOU and me and all of us. Let's open our hearts to God's love today in a really big way... He is so wanting to fill us, touch us, encourage us...help us to not complain, and help us to look to the needs of our neighbors and to His great love...and somehow, our needs get filled when we do that... That's what I'm learning here...

Pray for me to as I discern if I am to stay here longer than July. If I stay, it depends on me having a mission partner sent here no later than end of June to branch out in the areas God is calling me to serve. I'm resting and waiting on Him to light the way...
Thanks for your love and prayers and all the generous donations! It will all be put to great use here!
