Amber Arrived in Africa!

Posted by Amber Crawford at 6:43 PM
Hello All,I am sending you my last update before the Technology fast begins. I arrived in Nairobi last night and we leave tomorrow for Nagishot, Sudan. It has been such a blessing getting to know my team and I love them already! The place we stayed in today in Nairobi was actually quite nice and we have running water and electricity. Tomorrow we leave with just a backpack for a ten day orientation and language learning classes. From there we will hike into Makiria and stay a week with a Didinga family. Right now everything is moving quickly but in a month I know things will slow down. Pray that God would use us mightily even in the midst of traveling and working through paper work. I am going through Phil. and that book has never felt so real to me as it does now. Please pray for team health and that the gospel will go forward quickly. Thank you so much for all your prayers,Amber

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.
