September Praises




I only have three weeks left before I leave and it has been amazing to see everything fall into place. The Lord has provided and has met every need, including ones I didn’t even realize I had! I wasn’t sure what direction to take in this letter but as I thought about all God has done and the prayers He has answered I thought it may be good to look upon this. I know I will miss some, but I thought it important to be reminded of the things He has done and give Him all the Glory!



1. Having all the road blocks removed and able to prepare to go to Southern Sudan (March)
2. Getting an Airstrip in Napep- AIM didn’t know if this would ever happen and the Lord opened the hearts of the land owners and the community. (April)
3. Providing the money for a plane ticket and then some in the month of May! (May)
4. Providing all my financial support (Sept)
5. Blessing me with a group of great prayer warriors! (Continual)
6. The Gospel being spread through out Sudan! I can’t give specifics for security reasons, but know that the Lord is moving in the hearts of Muslims. (In May we prayed for Sudan- heard about the answer to prayer in Sept. by another missionary)
7. Winnie’s healing (team member)- (March)
8. Unity amongst the team as we talk through emails and phone calls (Continual)
9. The completion of our huts. (Aug)
10. Joining up the rest of my team in London so I won’t be flying alone!! (June)
11. Gospel spread to Children and their parents through VBS (July)
12. Directing me on when to share my leaving with my work and them being so supportive (Aug)
13. Opportunities to share my faith through leaving. (Continual)
14. Time management- He has given me ample time and has allowed everything to flow so smoothly. I am truly undeserving of this. (Continual)
15. Team Leaders received a satellite from their local body which will help with communication (May)
16. Protection for Team Leaders during their stay in Kenya (June)
17. The all night prayer nights are still bringing people together and He is moving through our prayers. (Aug)
18. Providing my Dad with a job. (July)
19. Opening the hearts of some Didinga men and them desiring discipleship! (Sept)
20. Blessing Deborah’s (Team leader’s wife) ministry through teaching children and sharing Christ (Sept)
21. Moving in the hearts of some of the African’s that are here in the states and placing the desire to share the gospel on their hearts (Aug)
22. Giving my family strength…this will probably be a continual prayer request but the Lord has given them such a peace that it is moving to me. I hope I can have the faith they have! (Continual)




I know this list only scratches the surface of all the things He has done. He has answered many more and I’m ashamed that I have already forgotten them. Maybe I wrote this list for me more than for you, but I hope it is an encouragement and a reminder of how much we are not only loved but how our lives are in the hands of a mighty, sovereign God and how important prayer is! I pray that when things get harder that I cling to my assurance of not only my salvation but the true Character of God and this gift of prayer that is so precious and powerful.

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.
