Seasons Change

I love fellowship and I love fellowshipping with WOMEN!! This weekend I was so blessed to go to Faith Community Church’s women’s retreat (boy, that’s a mouthful). It was an amazing time of fellowship and really getting to know the women at my church. To see their hearts and hear their testimonies was such a great reminder of how big our God is and the amazing grace that He continually shows us.

As I was driving back home, I became so aware that this incredible season of my life would soon end and things will never be the same again. Apart of me was sad because I know the next two years will not be without challenges and even loneliness, but I was overwhelmed with the thought that no matter what season I am in, I have this incredible God who is carrying me through it. He gives us everything we need to not only survive but to thrive.

“O send Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling places then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God” Psalm 43:3-4

Seasons change, time disappears but His love remains secure…

Serving the Didinga in Southern Sudan, Africa

So here goes the beginning of a new Journey. A year ago I never would have imagined that God would be preparing me to live amongst the Didinga in Southern Sudan, Africa. I had prayed that God would reveal Himself to me and that I would be able to see Him move in mighty ways. I had hoped that He would send me to Africa, but I didn't know He was sending me to Sudan.

In October I will be leaving for 2 years to work with the Didinga. The Didinga have yet to hear the truth about Jesus Christ and His salvation. I will be living in Makiria in a coned topped hut with several other team members. Their will be a total of 11 who will be working together with our team leaders Deborah and David Miller. During this two year period we will be learning the Didinga language and building relationships. We will be accomplishing this through TIMO’s learning program. This curriculum will teach us different ways of ministry outreach and from there we will need to apply them practically. The goal is to help meet the Didinga’s physical as well as spiritual needs. We want to be used to build up a body of Didinga believers.
