Road Trip


Tomorrow a group of us will head out on a four day trip to Kajo-Keji and Juba. Traveling in S. Sudan has it's difficulties including getting stuck in the mud. Please pray for our travels over the next week. Here are some specific ways you can be praying.

  • Pray that we would love each other well as we will be in the car together for over 20 hours traveling on pretty bad roads.
  • Pray that we would be learners as we visit projects and institutions in other towns.
  • Pray that we would be able to encourage the men and women we meet as we travel.
  • Pray that God would provide opportunities for us to pray with people.
  • Pray for the errands we have planned to get done in Juba.
  • Pray for the Land Cruiser and for Michael as the driver.
  • Pray for our health as we travel.
  • Pray for the logistics of our travel. (lodging, not getting too lost in Juba, finding the people we are planning on visiting, etc.)
We had a very successful trip to Garia last week. Garia is a very fertile area about 30 miles outside of Mundri which ended up being over a two hour drive. God blessed that trip as we learned about agricultural projects and community development.

with this photo, I am reminded of the potential issues that can ensue on African roads...I think if I had been driving (good thing I think Kim's James was at the wheel and not me) I would have had a heart attack....fuel tanks?! no problem, quarter of the vehicle submerged in mud?! heart attack. praying!
