Support
Everyone is not be called to go to the mission field. However, the people that are called cannot go alone. There must be senders as well as goers. There are so many ways you can join our work in Sudan: Prayer, Encouragement, or Finances
Prayer
Feb 2 Prayer Requests
1. Pray for God to speak through Chris as he preaches on Sunday March 2 at Stonebrook Church in Smyrna
2. Pray for our colleague Phalice Vanderpol as she finishes her 3rd week in Sudan at the Yabus base. Pray for her strength, adjustment to the heat, and love for the people.
3. Pray that we would tell clearly and specifically of God’s mighty deeds during our 10-day trip to Houston, Corpus Christi, and Austin. We have meetings with prospective project donors, prospective supporting churches, old friends, and new friends. Also, please ask to the Lord to give Thomas the ability to sleep well on the road.
4. Our support needs to increase 20% in order to get back to the field.
5. Peace in Sudan, especially in light of the reprinting of some cartoons in Denmark which have led to enormous protests in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.
6. Lift up a team led by a colleague which leaves the US on March 1. They will be visiting our station in Yabus, led by an SIM missionary who was born in that village!
Encouragement
• for Bev: *On Hold During Home Assignment Dec '07 through June '08*
• for Chris: *On Hold During Home Assignment Dec '07 through June '08*
• Shipping: *Important* - We love packages but the postal people in Kenya may see it as a way to make money. This is key to understand. If there is a $value written on the shipping label they will charge us that amount as customs duty! And it it’s a big, heavy, box the duty will most likely be very high.
• SO, all that being said: a small padded envelope or a box less than 4lbs is best because it does not attract attention, and it gets shipped quickly with the mail (not with parcels). Please send all food or drink gifts in a ziplock bag (travelling for many miles reduces the strength of original packaging)
Mail Care Packages (For Chris and Beverly) to the SIM Sudan office in Nairobi, Kenya at the following address :
