Photo Essay - June/July Trip to Sudan
My photo journey of my trip to Malakal and Kajo Keji....
John Monychol and Ding Lual - two incredibly faithful men in the Upper Nile. Monychol’s faith humbles me greatly. Would keep working on bringing the Gospel to a place where there is no clean water? Where the living conditions took your firstborn’s life? He does. “The world is not worthy of these...”
Training roughly 50 pastors and leaders in Malakal.
The Fellowship Bible Church Dallas Team - Carol and Amy’s conference with the women. Carol and Amy taught stewardship and business skills to these budding entrepreneurs.
Amy Carenza serving the ladies.
Carol passing orange slices out after using them for a business exercise.
Me, Josh Muse, John Monychol, and Elijah. Josh and John are spending four weeks together. Josh is doing a great site survey for us along with training and Arabic study.
(Left) Sam Kpakima from Children in Christ, one of my favorite partners. Their Children’s churches are amazing.
Graduation day, the ladies receive a certificate from Amy and Carol.
Rob Sherman, ML Nelson, and me as Dinkas during the celebration time at the end of our conference.

David Reyerson and Will Nix sort parts for the pump and well they’re digging--by hand--in Kajo Keji.
David and Will a bit muddy from digging their well.
The tank that gets filled by a solar-powered pump at our Bible School. Thanks to #### Greenly and the Water4 guys the ladies only have to turn a knob for water versus pumping for hours. And thanks to the Water Harvest International guys for digging the well that feeds this!
John Elmore shows a photo to Mary. Earlier in this meeting, Mary was delivered from a demon, professed faith in Christ and is currently sober after years of alcohol abuse. That’s Holly Lungren beside her. Holly’s working with the women this summer in Kajo Keji.
The recovery group meeting. Alcoholics, brewers, and fellow broken people...so beautiful to behold the redeeming power of Christ.
John Elmore with a recovering alcoholic. When John found this man, he couldn’t walk, was filthy, and trapped in alcohol abuse. Christ is cleaning him and restoring him daily.
Derek Dighton and John Crawford swap stories from the day on the field.
Avocados the size of grapefruit.
Gloria Kaya sewing away. She made a ton of dresses for the ladies on the team.
School kids. I found out that we now educate and feed 510 children. This is their classroom.

Another classroom.
And another…
The foundation for new classrooms for these kiddos.

After receiving the certificates, the crowd went wild! The purple stoll represents a top student.
An indescribable feeling of humbleness and fulfillment.
Celebratory feast!
