KRISTEN'S GIFT

THE OVERALL GIFTThis is yet another time to say thanks to God and to the loved ones that have contributed to our lives, last time i gave thanks to our beloved sister that gave us an IPod and also bought some cloths for our two kids.
This is yet another gift that we received from one family member we call her so because, only the person that love will always be praying for. this sister not only pray, but also sent some things that she thinks will be helpful to our ministry in Sudan, we came to know her just some few months ago, but it seems we‘ve known each other for a long time, her life style and the gift of singing is what really captured our attention to her, she lived a good and exemplary life while here with us, and that made us so proud of her. Since then we pray for each time and each day, for such a good way to live, but to our amazement she went back and sent a lot of good things that left to me is practically not possible to buy now, these things include, CLOTHS FOR PRAISE AND HALLELUJAH, A PAIR OF SANDALS FOR VICTORIA,AND A VIDEO CAMERA FOR ME, this is something that we will never forget about, my wife was full of tears when we received all this gifts, from our sister from the United States, we lack words to say thanks but our prayer for her is that God will grand her the desires of her heart, we know that we did nothing to deserve this all, and that we are not more than the others here, but all we know is that, it is just for the love of the LORD.
One thing that again made us happy is that our kids have to use this cloths for Christmas, since we were not able to buy any for them, this have covered something big for us, and the cloths made this gone Christmas a joyful one for the kids. You might be wondering who this sister’s name is, her name is, KRISTEN SONDERMAN, thank you sister, we beg you as you read this blog to pray for her, as she is currently in school reading medicine, may the Lord keep and bless you all..PRECIOUS ARE THESE TO US.PRAISE AND HIS NEW CLOTHS, ON CHRISTMAS DAYMY NEW VIDEO CAMERA, I LOVE IT SO MUCH
SISTER MY FAMILY AND I ARE VERY HAPPY TO RECIEVE THIS FROM YOU IT IS PRECIOUS TO US BUT NOT AS PRECIOUS AS YOU WE LOVE YOU!!!

CHRISTMAS AGAIN 2009.

PREACHING THE CHRISTMAS SERMON
This year we have again seen how Christmas is done in Sudan, we have noticed a lot of changes to that of last year, people are more organised and there are a lot of new cloths compared to that of last year, during the service people brought thanksgiving offering to the Lord, and for the first time according to the church leader, they collected 956EB, I MEAN ETHIOPIAN BIRR. As offering,
More to that the celebration, for this year, the food the drinks and everything was gathered from within the church and the members, it use to be that they will request help from either SIM or other NGO’S around, and you know it takes a bit of time to get that, which leads to delay in the arrangements. I talked to the leader and the answer he gave me was. we want to teach our people how to do it alone not to relay too much on others and became a burden to them, he also said that that does not mean that if we lack we are not going to ask for help, but first we have to try our best.
Please pray for them to be more and more trusting in the lord that to put all hope in man, it was really a good Christmas we had two church services one in the morning and the other, in the evening, before the whole church went dancing and rejoicing.
We stayed from the morning to the night before coming back home to sleep, but the dancing went on through the night.PRAISE HAVING FUN ON THE XMAS DAYTHE DANCETIME TO EATKISRAHHASIDAHFOOD FOOD FOOD, FOR ALLHALLELUJAH PLAYING HER PART TOO.THIS WAS TRUELY A GOOD CHRISTMAS WE HOPE TO SEE THE SAME NEXT YEAR. WE WISH YOU ALL A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

FAMILY EVENGALISM

on the way to kenyejiUnusual, this is the title of my blog today. me and my family have been trying to visit a group of people that hardly come to church, all they do is to stay home and go fishing or, sit round the tress to take MARISAA, I mean the local bear here in Sudan,
So this day we took a step of faith to visit with them and listen to them, but the unusual thing is that this was done on a Sunday morning, we are to go to the church but we said no and went to visit with them.
The village is so close to us, but unfortunately, we have not taking time to take the gospel to them until the day I had a talk with their leader, and a great revelation was told to me that I never expect that a small village like this can have such a great deal of problem, and no one seems to have noticed. The name of the village is KEYENJI and the main residence are the MABAANS, and mostly as they told me they are ROMAN CATHOLICS by faith, but to be honest there is nothing going on there that will suggest that there is or has been a church there.
But we took off that Sunday and met with them spent time with them and shared Christ with them, and invited them to the church the next Sunday,
Good news they came to the church, listened to the second coming sermon and 5 out of the ones that came gave their lives to the Lord. They are now part of the women fellowship, learning memory verses to do in the church on Christmas day, they are growing and becoming more and more faithful, some of them have not been to church for as long as 3years, to God be the glory.



Victoria and Stephen sharing with few at the tree and in the Racuba. those waiting for Marisaa.pray for those that have made a commitment with the Lord, to keepit and be faithful.
