Auntie Joy Phillips was here for a visit and Sudan team meetings in late January. We had a happy time reading books too as well as praying for Sudan and seeking Jesus as to His way forward in the year ahead.
With a 99% vote for seperation announced things look more and more likely each day that Southern Sudan will be officially birthed as a nation later this summer. All of our immediate friends and pastors and colleagues are well...there is still fighting along the boarder where much of the nation's oil is located.
The 22nd and 23rd of January Joanna hosted another Women's retreat for the Arua Area Ladies Bible Study.
She had a great time praying for and planning the event!

They women are studying the book of Esther just now,
so Joanna went with the theme and hosted a banquet at a local hotel on Saturday night.
The women jumped at the chance to REALLY dress up
and had a lovely banquet and time of studying the Word together.
The lovely ladies in attendance come from seven nations and
are all called of God to serve in and around the Arua area.
Please, as you pray for us, pray for them and their families.
That they might know and love JESUS more each day and might have His peace and hope and love for the people God has called them to be a LIGHT amongst.
Heidi Lettner is a dear friend who along with her husband Heinz, sense the Lord leading them to settle for a bit in Austria....we will miss them in Arua and the retreat was also a chance to say good-bye.
Billy and Elsie Jayne and Lucy had a happy weekend at home.
Even though we haven't had rain for a couple of months...the girls LOVE their gum boots and playing outside with their daddy!
