Making 21 Years!!!

Our dear friend Elnai James has made 21 years!!!  We rejoice with him at this accomplishment!  We were thrilled to get to share this special day with him!  What an added celebration that the day his nation of South Sudan was voting to receive its independance and be born as a new country, he was celebrating his birth and life up til now!

The party began with necessary hand washing! Something as Americans we seem to always forget...running water must have made us lazy!

The table was spread!  Meat, Avacado, Chapati, Chips!!! A feast for any young man!  We thank Jesus for Elnai's love for our girls!  They have taken him quickly as an uncle or big brother!

The cookie cake was a fun treat for us all!

Thanks Ms. Pat for chocolate chips! We are putting them to good use!

Elnai James just left this week to head back down to Entebee and work on some details with paper work and do some studying before his school begins at the end of the month. We had so much fun with him!

Thank you Jesus for allowing this young man to make 21 years! We wish you all could sit and hear from him the story of the last 20!  God has been so faithful and His mercies are truly new every morning!

Continue to pray for Elnai James and his homeland. The voting is "offically" over and now there is a month to wait on the counting of the results due to infrastructure and such.  60% of the southernors needed to have voted and to vote for succession for the vote to go through.

Please pray for honesty, purity, truth in these days of counting and waiting.

Pray for the safety and peace of communities ESPECIALLY on the north/south border.

Pray the Church will rise up and call all men unto JESUS.

Pray JESUS might meet Sudanese from the north and south by any means He chooses, dreams, visions, His Word, missionaries, neighbors, His voice!
Thank you for celebrating LIFE and Sudan with us tonight.
