home of the brave.

Independence Day pictures!  Such an amazing day to be with our people, the Toposa, as they experienced a day of freedom after so much war.  It was really neat seeing people from all of the areas where we are doing ministry come together in celebration.  God was given much glory!!!
 Toposa women celebrating!
 Toposa man celebrating!
 Toposa chief wearing his celebration attire
 Toposa woman in her celebration attire (kind of funny to see who is on her shirt!)
 Whitney and I amidst a ginormous crowd of Toposa, Acholi, Kenyans, other South Sudanese, and government officials
 The flag of the country of Sudan
The new flag that raised in place of the one in the previous picture.  This is the flag of the Republic of South Sudan.

Please pray for continued peace as South Sudan learns how to stand on it's own feet.  Pray for the oil region of Abyei in the border area.  Pray for cooperation between Sudan and South Sudan.  Pray that no more innocent lives will be lost, but that peace remains between the two nations.  And pray, most importantly, that God is glorified and that people from both countries cry out to the Lord.  Thank you!

    Alyssa,
    Your photographs are stunning! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the making of history - the Republic of South Sudan! Long may her banner wave!

    May the people of both Sudan and South Sudan come to see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4-7.

    Press on for the kingdom,
    Love,
    Mom

    Read 2 Thessalonians 3:1 this morning and prayed that the "The message of the Lord may spread rapidly (in Sudan and South Sudan) and be honored.
