Joy in Juba

We've had a good week in Juba, Southern Sudan. The young adults who attended the youth conference Monday to Friday were attentive and responsive to the Word. They want God to use them as Southern Sudan rebuilds after two decades of civil war. The churches of the city worked together to organize the evangelistic crusade Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. People filled the outdoor basketball stadium as Alfred Flett and Trevor Meier preached. People listened from the street. People listened from the balconies of their homes. Three hundred first-time decisions to receive Christ were recorded. Others, especially children, made decisions that were not recorded. Many were healed and set free. JOY broke out at the close of the final service. People filled the stadium floor to dance and celebrate what God had done. May there be great joy in ALL of Juba as Jesus continues to work!

We fly back to Uganda this afternoon. Please pray for James Okot, Alfred Flett, and myself as we minister next week at a pastor's conference and outdoor crusade in Adjumani, northern Uganda.
