Prayer Walk




On Tuesday we had a team of 8 arrive from a church in Virginia that supports both Christine and the Masso family. They will be with us for a week, helping with small projects, leading a two day workshop, preaching in a couple of local churches, and praying for Mundri and the continued advancement of the Lord’s kingdom here. Yesterday we took this team around Mundri for a prayer walk. We stopped at MRDA (Mundri Relief and Development Association), the secondary school, the local primary school where I have been getting to know the staff, the health center, and the market. At each place questions were asked, challenges were shared, and prayers were lifted up. Many Sudanese were encouraged that this group came all the way from the states to be with them and pray with them knowing that the prayers would continue even across the ocean.
When we were at both schools the biggest challenge shared was this recent strike. I am sad to report that the strike is now continuing on its 6th week. And there doesn’t seem to be any news that the salaries are coming any time soon. Please continue to pray boldly for an end to the strike and for a fruitfull time for this short term team.
