SUPPORTING THE CHURCHES

MABAAN WOMEN FELLOWSHIP GROUP DANCING WITH THE SEATS TO THE ALTER.
The life of a missionary can be a challenge to the people he or she is working with, I come to realise that, it is not how much you get in a month that matters, but what matters is the conviction that, little is much when God is in it.
I also realise that mission is not all about programmes or project that you initiated but it is all about life style. But that does not mean that having programmes or project going in your mission field is not important, yet it makes you a good missionary but it is not the real purpose in the field. The first and the most important, is the life examples that you live.
This month has been one of the most challenging, that I’ve ever had in the mission field, here in Sudan. One is the power encounter that we have here in yabus the past few months was characterised by so many strange happenings, missionaries and also the Sudanese teachers that work with the secondary school, have been experiencing a movement of an evil spirit. Some of the times this wicked, ghost comes to press them when they are deep asleep. And that keeps them struggling with this thing from the devil. But I remember that the Bible says” we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers of darkness”. So I decided to have a different time from my normal 30 minutes prayer time in the evening to 1hr 30min prayer time, in the mid night.
That has been the case and now God is bringing things to normal. Talking about support.
Me and my family have been trying to see how we can help the churches here, and where the source of this help will come from, seeing that we can’t boast of things coming from our own pockets, and so we decided to take it to the Lord in prayers.
And our God that sees all things and answers the prayers of his servants, heard this prayers and he made a way for us to be able to do something for the churches here,
Our God answered us by sending to us a sister that we hardly know, and that sister sent to our family six plastic chairs and one plastic table, on receiving those gift from the sister, we asked ourselves what to do with them, and we decided to hand that over to the churches here in yabus.
We gave to the Uduk church three of the chairs, and then to the Mabaan church we gave the table and then three chairs also. All the church leaders are so happy to receive these gifts from us. We didn’t give the gifts with the name of our family, but instead we gave these gifts to the women fellowship, and the women in turn gave the gift to the church. This answered prayer reassures us that, God hears and answer prayers. Thank you Lord for everything.GIVING THE SEAT TO THE UDUK CHURCH IN YABUSTHE OLD TIMBER TABLE BEING REPLACED AS THE NEW COMES IN.
