the bridge story

GOD !!! This not a small job to be sincere, i took time to help with the Bridge work and believe me it si not easy though sweet,the first cable was erected and some work need to be done on it to dis engage some cables that was used to pull up the big one,am talking about 70 - 80 meters above the ground, still i took the courage to do so.THAT'S WHAT AM TALKING ABOUThanging on just my foot and hand i tried to get the work done.but for sure christ was with me.

the most important thing is that God was glorified,but the Amazing thing is that after all the hanging and loosing i jumped down from that hight.and i wish to let you know that i have fear for hieghts,but God used the foolish things to confront the wise.

call for service at damo.

This week is such a good week to me and i really thank God for his grace to me, i walked with the mabaan people and now the udks from damo a small village close to us called on me to help with the building of their church there.moreso am doing Bible studies both in the mabaan churh and the church at gondoloand i really am enjoying that.
my Bible tudies class in gandolo
the good thing about this,is that i found 3 muslims that always come to listing to the studies.you can see them below.also below them is the tree of worship in Damo.
the children of Damostrong>and the new church under constructionplease pray for the successful conpletion of the church.

people are still hungry

My time was well spent this few days I was able to be among the people that distributed the left over food that was used from the last year’s supply.
It looks like a vacation to me because am on rest from my school work but it become more busy than i expected I help Eli to work on the bridge and I also do a lot of teaching in the church.
One of the missionary we are serving with is leaving a day from today and that really makes me fell sad, and so he took us for a hike yesterday and I must say I fell very bad he is leaving, I wish he stay’s a little longer. He is such a good man and God is really using him.
It looks small but we know that God is glorified.
and thomas took us for hiking

LORD WILL HEAL YOU.

There has never been a dull moment in Sudan.every day new things keep happening around here in Sudan.two days back my son praise and some of the small missionary kids are playing outside,they were all climbing some empty barrels that were kept in the compound and praise climbed to the top and he fell down and then injured himself.we took him to the clinic to be treated


BUT THANK GOD HE IS GETTING BETTER.THANKS TO MY WIFE AND BETHANY FOR THEIR FIRST AID.

RECONCILIATION

One more thing to talk about, we took a walk to one of our member’s house,and that house was for sometimes since October been separated from each other, I took note of this active boy in the church doing a lot of good work for the lord and is also the leader of the youth in the church, when I tried to know if he is married, I got a big YES. Then I asked where his wife is and the answer I got was they are separated and because the husband is so active in the church the wife has refused to join the church and she said” SINCE THE DEVIL CAN ALSO BE A LEADER IN THE CHURCH I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF THAT CHURCH” on hearing that I took time to first bring the woman close to my family, and then I started to talk to her about her husband, it took me two weeks to actually convince her to start coming to the fellowship of the saints.
After that I met with the husband, and talked to him and we were able to understand each other fast and he also admitted to all his maltreatment of his wife, so we prayed together, two weeks later I decided to bring them together, It was not that easy but God is the one that made that possible. And so I and my wife went to meet with them. We talked for 3hrs and were able to reach a conclusion, and the wife has agreed to come back to her husband’s house.
Oh I never wanted to say anything about the problem but, let me just give you a hint, IT WAS ALL ABOUT FOOD,NO MONEY FOR SOUP,AND WHEN THE WIFE COMPLAINED THE HUSBAND GAVE HER A REAL BEATING AND EVEN BROKE HER HAND WITH A WOOD, well at the end of everything God took that problem and gave glory to himself. PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM AS THEY ARE NOW READY TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN THEIR MARRIEGE.
THIS IS THE FAMILY THAT WAS ONCE SEPERATED,BUT NOW GOD HAS DONE HIS WORK THEY ARE ONE BIG FAMILY.TITUS ONTHE RITGHT,JOHN(THE HUSBAND )STANDS NEXT TO TITUS,TOBIA THE WIFE TO JOHN NEXT TO HER HUSBAND AND THE STEPHEN WITH THE RED,VICKY MY WIFE TOOK THE PHOTO THANKS FOR YOUR GOOD WORK

GOOD FRIDAY

praise and mela HIS FRIEND
We remember today(Good friday) the Love of God to all mankind,and the power of him dying on the cross to set all mankind free from their sin's,but there are others who don't kn ow the importance of this day.We talked about good Friday to some of the people we are working with and to them this is something entirely new to their mind and also to the church congregations.but despite being new to them i decided to put that into practice, the practice of showing the people how important this good day is to all people,so i planed a service for that day.
All the team members of s i m Yabus gathered together and set out for the church at around 9:30am but to our surprise nobody was there to even sweep the church for that day, but Vicky(my wife )made the church tidy and Bethany and one other lady from roof joined to keep the place conducive for the service,as no other church members came to join for the Friday service,but just the few 7 missionaries.And so we started the service,some few minuet later two small boys came to join the others,and they others came in slowly and slowly to see what this day was like.
Thank God at least 70 people came for the service,and after that the leader of the church said,"sometimes good things are left undone and from now on we will continue with this kind of service every Year.we sang songs in our different dialect,and there was a sermon by one of the missionaries,pastor Stephen Adamu,but the big thing is that God was really glorified.oops,i forgot to say that one good thing happened,and that is that the Uduks were also in the mabaan church for that service and they even presented a song in their own language too.
and the preacher charged the people to go out there and share the good news of God's love them.but this was not the end for me,my wife,Anter,and Garang we took a different road to the community,after sitting and taking tea for a while,we also talked about the love of God to oters who don't understand fully,and Garang who loves children took Hallelujah and Praise for a donkey ride,while we talked of stories puzzles and games to make the day a happy one thank God for his love.



FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN TO IT'S GOING DOWN THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE PRAISED.

PRAYERS AT THE BRIDGE

The Yabus Bridge that my Brother Eli fader is working on, is moving on as expected,and God is taking care of all the work and also the workers.A s the work is progressing the Devil is also looking for ways to bring down the name of the lord,no wonder the Bible say's"we should not be ignorant of thre devils devices" this time around he is trying to use a rock to bring set back to the bridge work.And becouse we not ignorant we took our time to pray at the Bridge site.and we know that our God is mighty than ten gods put together,we are still and we know that we shall see the Salvation of the Lord>
AFTER THE PRAYERS, WE TOOK TIME TO TAKE SOME FEW PHOTOS, FOR REMEMBERANCE OF GOD'S ANWERED PRAYERS.



WE WILL WAIT PATIENTLY AND SEE WHAT GOD WILL DO,HE HAS PROMISED TO BE WITH US ALL.

SWEAT GRADUATION.

As result of the work i do here in Sudan,i took my time to train some for the young boys here in the place where i work,as yo might have known that Sudan is not a country that you can find the type of work you want ,in fact the job is not even available talk more of having to be employed.
Despite that,and coupled with love and pity for the Sudanese i took time to train 4 young boys in one of the trade that i myself did when i was also unemployed and that is the business of Cutting hairs.after the training They conversed for the funds to start a small shop through the Yabus micro loan scheme,and now they have opened the first ever Barbing saloon in Yabus.THE OPENING PRAYERS.

ONE THING I DO IS NOT JUST TO PROMOTE THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE PLACE BUT ALSO TO MAKE LIVES MEANINGFULAFTER THE PRAYERS THEN COMES A TIME FOR FREE CUTS FOR THE STARTAND THEN A TIME FOR TEA.
