Hope for Sudan: Phase 4

Things have been quiet over here for a while, as the story has been developing.

The Lord graciously allowed people from the Hope for Sudan team several opportunities to access this war-torn country. He has allowed our people here in the states to pray, and give, and tell about Sudan.

The last few years have been short window of peace, and we give all the glory to God for spurring us onward into it.  We saw His hands on everything. Orchestrating the first trip, the second, the third, and especially the 4th.

As news of more bombings and turmoil in Sudan have come out, our team began to see that window as closing.  We praised the Almighty God for His provision and guidance. We thanked Him for allowing men from our group to GO, to LOVE, and to SERVE the Sudanese while there was peace and access to the region.

However, the story did not end there. We were naive to think it would. God was not finished with us and he is most definitely not finished with the Sudanese people just yet.

The Lord did something beautiful, beginning with the stirring of John Jefferson's heart all the way through miraculous visa approvals and travel arrangements. In a matter of weeks, John was en route to what we had believed was a closed door, which was actually swung wide open. God mightily and sovereignly fed, clothed, and healed some of the Sudanese people on this last minute trip.

John will be telling the story of this 4th Phase of the project in 8 parts. We urge you to follow along with the beautiful telling of God's story in Sudan as we post here daily.
