One Week From Yesterday


Vernon is heading for Sudan on December 10. We are so excited for his time there. He is going to love and encourage our friends in Sudan during this holiday season. People often travel to family and friends over the holidays, to hug their necks and greet them with holiday wishes, and Vernon will be doing just that. He will be going to the different orphanages greeting them in the name of our Lord Jesus and encouraging them as they continue on day after day serving the Lord. Various donors have given money to get the children at each orphanage great Christmas gifts. Vernon will be purchasing and distributing the gifts, if time and weather permits. If not, Anngrace and Bishop Taban will continue delivering them.

We are especially excited about the last thing Vernon will be doing while in Sudan/Uganda. Vernon will be meeting up with Victor, a great friend of ours and nephew of Bishop, to fly with him back to the States. Victor has received a full ride scholarship to The College at Southwestern Seminary. He will be living with us and attending school. This will be his first time out of Northern Africa. We are so excited for this opportunity!

Be careful Vernon Mike & I pray that you'll be safe in God's arms & lap. (Victor,too).
