The pastors just left for home.  What a blessing it has been to be with them the past three days!  I have thoroughly enjoyed and been stretched in faith while teaching them.  But God has blessed beyond expectation, and many pastors expressed their very thankful and encouraged hearts.  Hearing their encouragement to me, and hearing of the ways God has blessed them this week, has turned my heart full of affection to God.  It is a powerful blessing to realize the reasons why He told me 16 months ago to come to Sudan.

And I am learning so much about following the Lord, being fully obedient and dependent on Him, and seeing Him come through in every situation.  Never fear!  Our God is an awesome God.

The picture is of me with a couple of the pastors last Sunday after church.
