SIM Sudan Team – Spiritual Life Conference 2009
• We had a fantastic Spiritual Life Conference attended by over 100 people. Our entire team emptied out of Sudan (50 people). There were about 5 flights in one week. We managed to put everyone up in local guesthouses. And 3 new team members made it in time for the Conference. Three buses took us all outside Nairobi to a place called Limuru where there is a conference center. It was a massive logistical exercise but God blessed us with fellowship, great teaching, and comfortable surroundings. Missionaries who live in the most primitive conditions and eat beans every day instead ate from a sumptuous buffet. And during our meetings we heard the Gospel spread out before us like fragrant, life-giving buffet. It was a wonderfully refreshing time.
• Our Kenya resident permit has been approved! Until we move back to Sudan, we are legal to have an office in Kenya. Also, entry and re-entry to Kenya is free.
• We had a great reunion with Laiu & Debbie Fachhai and their son Vanoh. Laiu is our former Director who was the speaker at SLC.
• Jonathan and Thomas seem to have evicted the viruses they picked on the flight from US to Kenya.
• Beverly is finally on Facebook! We’re having a contest to see who has more friends. She has passed me like I am sitting still.
• A funny: Thomas has learned my name. Today he said “Chris is Baba”. He’s only 2 years and 2 months old.
