We are continuing to document ways that God has “moved mountains” to get us into South Sudan. We talked about his provision of a house, and a way to get that house into the country in time, a way to get our belongings in and right now we are celebrating a visa! We realized earlier this week that J– would need to fly out this weekend to be able to catch a commercial flight into Juba, a WFP flight into Malakal and hitch a ride with FAR via car into Melut to begin building. He applied for his visa Wed and it arrived Friday just in time to be able to make all his transports.
In a land where anything can happen or be delayed we are counting this as a small miraculous way God is providing a way for us to get into Melut! He will be gone just shy of three weeks (with only about 1.5 of that actually building the rest is traveling in and out) before he flies back and we all fly in, Lord willing, as a family to set up house.
I am grinning from ear to ear. With a shout and a clap, He says it is to be and it is so! Amen Lord, please grant that this family could travel together and when reunited with each other it would be as they joyously enter the country together to their new home.
