FBCI in Sudan
The team landed safely in Yei right on schedule. They rested that evening and got to meet our sweet friends at EPC. Yesterday they went to the Orphanage in Lura and they all had a great time. The internet time has been SO I don't have the details yet. Vernon said in the email that the time there in Lura was "amazing." Today they journeyed out to Morobo Orphanage and then they will stay in Yei for the Sunday. As soon as I hear from them I will keep you updated!

The Team Arrives
Hello all! I am writing to let everyone know that the team from First Baptist Irving has arrived safely in Entebbe. I spoke with Vernon about an hour ago and everyone was heathly and headed to bed. They will leave for Sudan in the morning around 9am which is 1am our time. We will keep you posted as they communicate back, and if the internet is good there they will be writing on this blog as well.
This mission is an exploratory mission in which First Baptist Irving will seek the Lord for further direction on how they are to partner in Sudan. This team will be doing various ministries such as: discipleship of the widows, painting the primary school at Lura, leadership for church leaders and developing relationships with the orphans.
Here are some things to pray as this teams goes forth:
Prayer for Travel
➢ Father, spread your protection over this team, that those who loves Your name may rejoice in you. Psalm 5:11b
➢ Lord, stand at their sides and give them strength, so that through them the message might be fully proclaimed and all of Sudan might hear. 2 Timothy 4:17
Daily Prayers for the Team
➢ I pray that as one of your chosen people, holy and dearly loved, each team member would clothe himself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
➢ In the morning Lord you hear their voices; In the morning may they lay their request before You and wait in expectation. Psalm 5:3
➢ I pray this team would consider their lives worth nothing to themselves, if only they may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to them—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. Acts 20:24
➢ I pray as a team, they would be brought together today in complete unity to let the world know that You sent them. John 17:23
➢ I pray they will use whatever gifts received to serve others, faithfully administering Your grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10

Secondary Schools
Each Orphanage has a primary school and now we have received the blue prints for the Secondary Schools! We are so excited! With these blue prints come a good amount of money that needs to be raised to finish them before the children are of Secondary age. 
If you, your church/organization, or anyone you know would be interested in giving to this project, please contact us at vernon@hisvoiceforsudan.com or visit the PARTNER page of our website for details on how to give. We need to send $20,000 asap to secure the materials.
Thanks to all!


Thanks to all!

Extremely Pleased
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for praying for Vernon as he has been gone. I thought I would write a brief update and you could hear the rest from him when he returns!
Here are some highlights:
* Sunday morning preaching went well, the congregation is always so excited to see Vernon. We are there so often that they have really taken to him!
* Vernon got to spend some great time with the 10 boys from the Morobo Orphanage. He said that the boys were so open and real with him. He asked them what they wanted to be when they got older and it ranged from a mechanic, to a pastor, to a doctor! A couple of the boys said they would like to run an orphanage! Isn't that great! Vernon told me that they discussed openly the struggles of life as a young teenage boy in Sudan and that they were really candid. They also just hung out by the river and played a lot of soccer.
* The visit to the Morobo Orphanage was wonderful as always. The children are growing and getting healthier and stronger. They were overjoyed by the Christmas gifts.
* The visit to the Lura Orphanage was a hard day emotionally. Vernon and Bishop took time to visit with the children about their pasts and how it came to be that they were orphaned. It was sobering to say the least. It is so good for the children to be able to talk openly about what they have gone through.
* Vernon and Bishop were able to have a lot of time to vision cast for the future.
* Vernon had some special time with some of the men from EPC that we have become great friends with over the years.
Vernon is now in Uganda. For all of you who were praying for Muhammad the Imam in Kampala, Vernon met with him again this morning and was so amazed and encouraged. Muhammad taught his congregation about the TRINITY! Can you believe that! AMEN! So Muhammad is beginning to understand Christianity and is teaching it to his congregation...unbelievable! Vernon will be posting more on this!
He and Victor fly out Saturday morning but wont make it here until Sunday afternoon.

The Schedule
Vernon emailed me the tentative schedule of events so that everyone could be praying. Keep in mind that we are about 8 hours behind him. (oh and i forgot to mention he made it safely to Sudan)
Sunday Morning- Preaching on the transfiguration account in Mark
Sunday Afternoon- Leading a workshop with some of the men who work for Bishop
Monday all day- (this is so cool!) Vernon will be spending time with 10 of the older boy orphans from the Morobo orphanage. He will be talking to them about biblical manhood and just getting to know them better. We are way pumped about this!
Tuesday- They (Vernon, the 10 boys and Bishop) will travel back to Morobo. These children are so precious to us. Every chance to go to the Morobo Orphanage is special. Vernon will be playing with the children all day and giving out some Christmas presents!
Wednesday-They will travel to Lura and visit the Lura Orphanage. This will be a great time for Vernon to see the facility up and running and all the children moved in! He will also be giving out presents!
That's all for now folks! thanks for praying!
