Our REAL Purpose in Edmonton!

What are Sudan missionaries doing in Canada? I'm glad you asked because we need your prayers. Today it's -9F outside and we're happy to be inside. But over the weekend we were out and about, taking a trip to Edmonton, Alberta for Missions Fest 2009. The roads were like the one pictured here... snow-covered and slick.

We heard that a missionary to Columbia would be the keynote speaker... a man named Bruce Olson. If you're unaware of his story, allow me to strongly recommend his book "Bruchko" from Amazon.com or your local Christian bookstore. It will change your life... really... it's that good. After one session, we were able to meet him briefly though we missed a perfect photo opportunity.

During our trip, we were able to connect with some dear friends in the area and plant a seed to connect with a church. And there's your answer... what are Sudan missionaries doing in Canada? Connecting with churches. Most of you know that we are raising support ($1927/month) before we can return to Sudan. Many of you don't know that we are praying about 4 churches with whom we have been in contact recently. Please pray that these 4 (2 in NE United States, 1 in Alberta, 1 in Saskatchewan) will feel the Lord's call to support us. We have been encouraged by the possibility of being supported by a Southern Baptist Church in the area and are praying about a second in SE United States.

Please pray for us. And if you're reading this thinking, "I'd like to help support this family" or "I could help them connect with my church"... please be in touch. The Lord will bless the gift and the giver. Thank you! And another "thank you" to all who have made this decision already.
