February Sudan Trip Part I
Kato, a pastor and missionary serving in Kapoeta.
Church planted in Kajo Keji in July '06. Note the structure behind them on the right. It has no roof because thieves stole the straw to cover it.
Michael Radler holding a two-week old baby. The father is teaching at a bible school we're starting in March.
Note the poles with no benches. The Anglicans come and steal the benches from this church. Drunks pass by on Sunday mornings and yell at them while they worship.
Our accomodations in Chukudum.
Dinner in Chukudum.
The kitchen on the church compound in Chukudum.
David Kaya, Pastor Jacob, and Boscoe. Jacob is the pastor of the African Inland Church in Chukudum. He's also hosting David next month for our church-planting training. Boscoe is a pastor/chaplain in the SPLA.
Leftovers from the war.
Musical instruments in the church in Chukudum.
The AIC church in Chukudum.
Those are .50 caliber shells in her hands.
They play a game w/ the .50 caliber shells. Setting them up in two parallel rows, then throwing other shells to knock them down.
This church tells a story. It's in the middle of nowhere. A Kenyan missionary built it and didn't consult the locals first. If you build it, they won't necessarily come. A waste of funds.
Driving to Chukudum from Kapoeta, we found these abandoned vehicles buried in a dry riverbed.
A few boys near Didinga mountain looking after their cows. Once we stepped out of the truck to get their photos, they ran away.
The road between Kapoeta and Chukudum. About 60 miles and it took about 6.5 hours to drive it.
Same road.
The bass.
The demining guys set up this display in a camp in Rumbek.
A few of the pastors we worked with in Rumbek. In the gray/black/white patterned outfit is Pastor Chol.
In Kajo Keji at a church planted in October 2005. The man on the right is meeting Michael Radler. He has polio, but radiated with the Holy Spirit. They told us no one has memorized more scripture than this man. He's counting it all joy.
Andrew, the pastor of the church in Kajo Keji planted in July. He's holding a Gideon New Testament. One of only two bibles the church has.

May God be with you for all that spiritual divine he invetsted in you to meet his people from time to time even when the satanic world is fierce. I personally love the peolpe and the humanity .
To my cousin Mike, this is MCR Costa Rica, nice to see your good work, love and blesings being shared abundantly.
God is good, you look great.
I have been involved in a little effort in Panama working with 1200 indigenous Ngobe indians.
It's been an amazing experience, planting food, sorting out the water, hiring a ex Peace Corp worker for micro enterprises and organizing the women of the communities.
It's been a while, would love to catch up, we need a church, I can build that, i need a man to lead that church.
Blessing cousin~
