In mid-July I will be flying home to the States for
my scheduled Home Assignment. While home
I would love to meet up with you to share a bit of what God has been doing in the
Didinga Hills of South Sudan as well as hear
what our Lord is doing in your life.
After Home
Assignment, as a means of completing AIM’s Bible requirements and building a
stronger personal Biblical foundation for future mission service, I will be
taking a year long Educational Leave from Sudan to attend Bible school. I will remain active with AIM throughout this
upcoming year, as I do plan to return to my work in Didinga after this time of
full-time study.
After
nearly five years of service amongst the Didinga people, I have grown to love
them, my work and life there. I
originally planned to complete most of my Bible requirements as a member of the
Didinga TIMO team. However, when that
team ended early, I was left with several unmet Bible requirements. Though I am sad to leave my work in Didinga,
even for a year, I am excited about this opportunity to diligently study God’s
word, as I believe that it will deepen the cornerstone for my work amongst the
Didinga people, my faith, while also serving as a catalyst towards effective future
ministry in Sudan.
I am
applying to several Bible schools – praying and researching my way through this
decision. I would appreciate your
prayers as I attempt to choose the appropriate school, make a cross-continental
move, transition back into life in the Western world after years of mud-hut
living and attempt to fully trust in God the great Planner and Provider – while
living a life which currently a bit chaotic.
