Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and King Jesus Christ!

I would like to call this trip to Southern Sudan, a country I call home, as a reflective trip that I had asked God to use as a means for me to reconnect with him and seek his purpose for my life.

 Even though I feel blessed to be living in the western country of Australia, I am so challenged by what I have seen and above all amazed by seeing what God is doing through people who dedicated themselves to serving God’s people in this part of the world.

Particularly I am amazed by What God is doing through the family of Sadet and Suzy  and their amazing medical team who are doing an incredible amount of work that I personally find it hard to believe if it were not for the loving grace of God.

The reason I felt so much challenged and touched by this trip is that my life experience of living in Australia as a Southern Sudanese Christian has been shaped to value and celebrate secular and worldly career oriented success more than what God can do through people who love him and obey his calling to serve.

My prayer for Sabet and Suzy’s family in Sudan is that God may continue to use them and provide for them to serve him for the glory of his kingdom.
