Kids on Mission
Today, Ali and I are leaving to take Alexa to Sudan. We’re heading out a bit early to ease the jetlag on her. We can’t wait to see how God works in her life as she sees the other side of the world, and another piece of Christ’s Kingdom. We’d love your prayers for us, and for her little brother and sister staying behind with grandparents.
But she’s not the only kid going. Mark Jordan is bringing his son, Alec, who’s 11. He’ll head out a bit early as well. Joining us is a terrific crew from Prestonwood Baptist Church. They’ll be stepping into a massive pastors conference in Kajo Keji. We anticipate over 1,000 church leaders from Sudan, Uganda, and Congo.
For the Baptists on the list, we’re blessed that Dr. Danny Akin and his wife will join us and lead the teaching at the conference. Dr. Akin is the president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. SEBTS is incredibly mission-oriented due to Dr. Akin’s leadership. We are tremendously excited.
I’ll send you reports as I can. After sending this team home, I’m staying in Sudan to receive another incredible team from Birmingham, Alabama and Dallas-Fort Worth. They’re going to Terekeka (Tear-uh-cake-uh). We’ll sleep at the Harvesters’ Orphanage and love on those kids, drill water wells with Water Harvest International, conduct veterinary work on cows, goats and other animals with Dr. Jason Johnson, meet healthcare needs as we can in clinics with Dr. Chris Harmon, and of course strengthen church plants by indigenous Sudanese, e3 missionaries.
We really do value your prayers. Thanks for covering us as we go.
