4-1 VICTORY OVER YABUS GABA

THEY MAY LOOK DIFFERENT BUT THEY ARE ALL FROM THE SAME TEAM JUST GIVING THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS PROVISION OF THE UNIFORMS.


It was another day of sport, me and my young boys gave thanks to the Lord for his love and grace to us. He provided us with some two sets of jerseys, and 7 footballs, this has been our prayers for a long time now. So we organised a thanks you football match, this match was an intramural tournament that has to so with just the boys, we are 50 in number and so we broke into three teams, and that was how we all gave thanks to the Lord for his provisions.THE MATCH.

After that intramural tournament we then decide to try our skills with other outside teams, so we travelled to a town called, Yabus Gaba, it is around 10-15 KLM away from the place we stay, still we all have to walk this far distance, and play a 1:30 football. One of the things that really gave us joy is that the boys we play with are older and bigger than us, in fact, even stronger, but at the end of this match we were able to win with a goal of 4-1 this was an impressive result being our first away match, that really make us proud, we sang all the way to Yabus, dancing and clapping our hands, it was a big day for us, and believe me the boys played their best, with good passes and good score, thanks to the Lord.
THE START OF THE 4-1 VICTORY MATCH OVER YABUS GABA.
LITTLE PRAISE WAS ALSO PART OF THE TEAM.

FAMILY TIME,AND TEACHING

these are the families during the teaching sectionFor a long time now we have been wondering and praying for a chance to share, the joy of a good marriage with our other families in the Church, though we once have done this to our student as a form of a seminar, but in the Church there was a lot of gap, that need to be closed. so the Lord brought to us the chance to share about this topic.ONE OF THE TROUBLED FAMILYWe took time during one of the Sundays to introduce this hot topic, to our amazement; it was welcomed with an open arm. We taught that Sunday about marriage, bringing all the families together, each one with his wife sitting close to him, this was not something that the Sudanese are use to but we insisted that it must have to be that way, and the good Lord, helped us to convince them. just then we kicked off the teaching, in just a few time they started nodding their head, but from the beginning they were all shay to sit with their wives, i then asked a quick question, “ how long have some of you sat with your wives like this” some say since we got married others say 8years, ago, the lowest was, 4years back, on hearing this a chill ran down my spine, to make things short we then had both the men and women, making new promises to their wives. The promise was to have a change in their marriage.FAMILIES MAKING NEW PROMISES.
One other thing that we have learned is that there are a lot of problems in most of the marriages or say families that were in attendance, after, asking if there is anything we want to be praying about, a lot of hands shut up. Given the chance to say their request, it turns out to be a problem, ranging from fighting, separation, alcoholism, and maltreatment. We then had appointment with the troubled families, just to have like a counselling section with hem, that really paid off, we were able to start few we have made a breakthrough but some we are still trusting the Lord to have his way, and bring a resolve in the issues keep praying for them.
THE SPEAKER IN ACTION.KEEP PRAYING FOR THESE FAMILIES, AS WE ALSO HELP AND PRAY THAT THE GOOD LORD WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO BRING A CHANGE.
