Bev: My eyes burned with tears from the moment we stepped off the plane, and were received with singing and warm smiles by the Sudanese pastors and church leaders that had patiently awaited our arrival and had gathered to greet us on the dusty runway.
This past week has confirmed our calling to “Go into all the world and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” The ninety students, both men and women, have such a hunger and thirst to know the Word of God. Together, four of us have taught a hundred hours of classes in Bible Study Methods, O.T. Survey, N.T. Survey, and Bible Doctrines in 1000 F, without fans or airconditioning. We now have a clearer vision for the opening of a permanent Bible Training Center in Tonj for “In Deed and Truth Ministries.”
We have had the experience of our lives and cherish the relationships we have built these past two weeks. The hospitality shown us by Sabet & Suzy has been tremendous. Now that its time to leave and go back to Kenya, tears are again welling up in my eyes.
