the women of the mabaan Church have recieved a boost to their style of cooking, this week, in the past they have learned how to make several African dishes, and indian CHAPATI, but this time they are again introduced to a Nigerian delicacy popularly known as CHIN CHIN. THIS IS HOW IT ALL WENT.

PAISE THE LORD WITH THEM



Door to door evangelism.

women on their way t evangelism

Evangelism as a tool to reach out to the lost ones is, the heart of mission. Sometime we spend a lot of time being immerse in other things. Sometimes we say our friends the Sudanese are not yet ripe to do the work of the gospel and so we say we have to spend more time in impacting knowledge to them before we engage them in anything, mission.

But the Mabaan women are thinking differently, after just knowing that they can preach the gospel and share the good news with the little they have. The women fellowship, went ahead to try out the idea, and this they all did, and believe me; it yielded result, a good result, Praise the Lord for that.



praying for the sick





in total submmision, and dependance on the Lord they prayed

 The women took the bold step of reaching out to others, they used the door to door system of the Jehovah witness, moving from house to house, praying for the sick, and then sharing the gospel with others that have not met the Lord personally.

In one of the houses they visited, they met a woman who never goes to Church, drinks alcohol and is staying away from the husband in the name of divorce, but after speaking to her she lifted the bottle of bear, throw it on the ground and said, “ today i accept the Lord as my saviour pray for me.” It is like a joke but that is how the good Lord works in our life, praise god for all this.

While in other places, they ware able to pray for the sick, laying down for so long and as the good Lord will have it, many others says we will join you all coming Sunday we have realised that we are missing out in something. To us this is a great achievement for women to preach in sudan, this is so because in he Sudanese culture women are not allowed to preach, sad sometimes men too, unless you are a Church leader , or an elder.

throwing the bottle on the ground, and accepting the Lord. thanks to the Lord for all his love and mercies to the Sudanese people. please keep praying for them.

total forgiveness

we talked,

the Lord has again done his work, the work of conversion is not the doing or the handwork of man but rather the doing of the Lord and his will, in the past three weeks the Lord have led me to different people, and for his name sake he has drawn them to himself, i was only used to share and then lead them to the Lord through prayers, that is all we did with my wife, this past Saturday. we lead two youths to the good Lord and gave them Bibles and verses to help them in their new found life.




we prayedwe gave them the word of the Lord varbally and in the print

may the good Lord bless you

the bible says "happy are the feet of those that bring good news, and this i know will apply to my kids, which since we gave birth to them have been in the mission field in the rains and in the sun, now they grow up know that the work of mission is the heart of the Lord.

KITE TIME

The kids are having fun here in yabus, aftr a long time, since we returned from our R.R, we brought with us a gift for our kids, but just after we came back we forgot that we brought such a thing from Nairobi. we just remembered when he (Praise) called our attention to that, and he and his kid sister have been having fun since then, with their new KITE.

Praise and his Kite

COUNSELLING AND PRAYER TIME.

One more family, to the good and Loving father Jesus CChrist this is a prayer section with my family FRIENDS. It is good to see that the good Lord is doing something great to all of us and for the ministry of the word that we do here,

 after a long talk with them, we finally prayed together. I was honoured by this, and pray the Lord to bless them in all their afford in life in Jesus name.i will add a big AMEN!!!! TO THIS PRAYER

MAKING FRIENDS

Sometimes it is said “ good things never come easy” it is not a lie i have seen this saying come to be real before me, since the beginning of this year i have been trying to make friends with the soldiers, here in Sudan, it so happen that this dream is achieved, but since then i have been trying to have a shot with, but the commanding officer, say there will be no photos in the barracks, as it is a highly restricted area for photography, but our friendship keep going well and the small time to share the gospel with the listening ears is making sense. Thanks to the Lord,

But as the Lord will have it, some of the friends that I’ve made are now in Yabus town for patrol, so they took time to see me in the compound. as they leave after taking some water, and a few moment of chatting, I finally have the opportunity that i have been waiting for, to at least have a snap shot with them.

According to military rule, it states, “never give to a civilian your Riffle” but due to our relationship, they happily gave to me theirs to hang, it is not an easy thing to reach out to the military. But thanks to the good Lord for this time, and opportunity to reach out and make friends with the soldiers.

these are my friends met on the ground.with teacher Mading.

SWEET FELLOWSHIP

FUN  IS PART OF OUR LIFE IN THE MISSION FIELD. sometimes most people think that a missionary is just to do the work of the Lord with out any rest, but as we know all work and no play makes Jack a Dull   boy. that is the main reason why, we not only intensely do the work of the Lord, win souls to the  Kingdom of the most high. But we alos take time to share our time with the Lord in the work of our ministry, to each other. in a great communion. the name might not fit  the word fun, but it is a time to relax and rerflect back as we pray for each other. with some few.

THE NEW FACE OF MABAAN WOMEN FELLOWSHIP

thank God for the women fellpwship, of the Mabaan  Church, it has been a blessing to us since the time we started this fellowship some one year back. I has seen the good and the rough side of starting a ministry, this i mean, going through a ministry without a single funding and having the hand of the Lord upon it.

 to this time the women are now growing, not only in the physical but also in the spirit of the Lord and also in the relationship with their family and others.

one ore thing the women are now having a new leader, from the indegenes of the tribe, to take over from Victoria  as we draw close to our going for home assingment, to Nigerai, ans again they have added a day to the normal one day of practice, to two days.

 the women on theor practice day. on friday

the Mabaan women with the help of Victoria, now translate all the songs that were originally in Hausa( Nigeria language) to Mabaan language. glory to the Lord for the strenght he has given to all of them to commit themselves to this ministry.

DAY OF THE MONKEY

there is never a dull day in Sudan,our children were, playing in the rakuba i mean a place of rest from the sun, when one of the Ganza guys, came passing with a MONKEY, Hallelujah our small Daughter started running towards it with joy and wanting to touch the little monkey, the man was also kind enough to not only allow her to touch but brought it to the rakuba from the road for her to be able to play with it.it was fun for the kids to have touched a monkey and for Hallelujah to want to share her football with him.
