Thank you for those that prayed with us this past week <\/a>as we and leadership looked at what comes next since our plan A for language study is off the table. We wanted to share with you what the next steps look like for us and ask you to continue to pray.<\/p>\n

Our goal for this year remains to get a good grasp of Sudanese Arabic. Because the language schools were shut down we are very grateful for our language acquisition training as we will be utilizing it this year (and have already started) to learn the Arabic without a formal school. The best place for us to learn Sudanese Arabic is South Sudan.<\/p>\n

We asked you to pray for three things this past week.<\/p>\n

1) That God would keep our hearts at peace through this time of unknown<\/em>. We’d like to ask that you continue to pray Matt 6:26-33 for us in this regards. We have felt your prayers this week in regards to this<\/p>\n

2) That their would be unity on our team as to the next step for our family<\/em>. God has really answered this prayer, in a large meeting this past Friday there was complete unity among our team and us<\/strong>\u00a0 that the best place for us to study language is in Melut South Sudan. Melut is on the Nile River in the upper nile state of South Sudan.<\/p>\n

3) That God would move mountains and make his way plain in such a way that all could say this is of God<\/em>. We are still seeing this play out as there are many logistics that need to happen but we have seen God move several mountains already. The problem with relocation is that there is no housing for our family in Melut, there is a large plane that could bring in housing supplies leaving at the end of the month but the pre-fab house requires minimum four weeks lead time. As we looked at details God provided a pre-fab the size we need<\/strong> that has become available and can be taken in at the end of the month. Gideon Theological School has offered to allow us to live on campus<\/strong> and is going to purchase the pre-fab (we will pay rent) and then use it for visiting professors when we are done with it.<\/p>\n

We feel very blessed by answered prayer. We are asking you to pray for several logistics “our mountains” that must be moved in order to get us into South Sudan before Kenya elections.\u00a0 These are:<\/p>\n
