3 Months in Pajok

I have been praying for many years for my family to serve on the foreign mission field. Soon after being saved, I had a desire to go to the world with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the years the Lord has directed us and led us to focus on Pajok, South Sudan. Five years ago God's Tender Mercy was born by the will and leading of the Lord.

September 1st, 2015 our family will travel to Pajok, South Sudan to stay for 3 months. This is very exciting! Many decisions have to be made concerning what we need to take with us to care for our 3 children (Luke 8yo, Jacob 6yo, & Grace 4yo). I know the Lord will lead us as we wait on Him.

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"

Ps 46:10

 



My primary desire is to teach and disciple our leadership in Pajok along with helping them to teach those in the village who have responded to God's revealed word. Kathy will be caring for our children and homeschooling them.

GTM's main focus has been the children of Pajok. Now we are seeking to dedicate more time to sharing the truth of Jesus Christ with the adults of Pajok. Those who respond we teach and disciple. David is currently sharing Jesus with various people in the village and teaching those who have a desire to know more. The only foundation that can be laid is Jesus Christ. He is our Rock and Salvation.

"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

1Corinthians 3:11

 

David is currently building us a couple rooms to live in. He is also building a new latrine....Praise the Lord! The existing 3 stall latrine serves the orphanage and the GTM school....roughly 150+ people. We tend to take for granted the simple amenities we have here in America.

 

Thank you for your prayers and support!



Reconciliation...the Lord's will.

Our brother Francis has been serving with us since last year as I have previously written. He has served the Lord well in his time with us. However, Francis has had a heavy heart for his wife Judith and their 5 children. They live in Uganda. He has been separated from them for about 4 years. His heart was to have reconciliation. Recently, Francis has moved back to Uganda to be with his wife and children and is in the process of reconciling their relationship and marriage. We know this is our Lord's heart, for He hates divorce.

Malachi 2:16 "For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously."

 

Please pray with us for repentance and reconciliation in both Francis and his wife Judith. Please also pray for the Lord to restore what has been lost over the past years with his children. May Jesus Christ be glorified in their relationship, family, and marriage. Thank you!
