a Sorrowful Awakening Tonight

I can’t sleep now, I’m thinking about what just happened tonight. I heard Esther, our Ugandan Midwife talking loudly outside my door, “30 people are being brought from Heiban—shot. Let’s go!” So our whole medical team attended to the wounded, many who will need amputation tomorrow.

The war has begun here in Nuba Mountains, Sudan. After almost a decade of relative peace, the fight for independence continues. I will be leaving here in 1 ½ days as it is becoming too unsafe here. Please pray for peace for these dear people and a smooth transition for our team and the 60 employees of the diocese including builders, teachers, pastoral staff and we the medical team.

Thank you for walking with us in prayer.
