Yesterday I returned to my mission base in Yei, a small but fast growing town in Southern Sudan. After our last student’s Prayer conference held here on the 1st and 2nd of May, where over 250 students from various secondary and primary schools confessed and received Jesus as Lord; discipling them became the most important job in Yei.
The desire for godly models and gracious mentors is high in the schools. Though many youths here may not understand this need in the context of their present condition, but my return to Yei at this time will attempt to engage their heart and imagination with what could be and should be as they grow in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
I pray that God will grant me the grace to inspire and influence, motivate and mentor, encourage and equip these young disciples; many among them do not own a Bible and a good number read English with difficulty.
My expectations and aims on this trip are to:
1. Set 500 students on the discipleship track.
2. See many students baptized in the Holy Spirit.
3. See cell group meetings filled with students, engaging the scriptures, asking questions and praying together regularly.
4. See more prayer meetings focused on the mission thrusts for the unreached peoples of Sudan.
5. See Scripture Union fellowships started in at least three more schools within the month of July 2009.
6. Put a Bible in the hands of 500 students on this trip.
I covet the prayers of all who believe God with us for a great Sudan. May your prayers this season include us and what the Lord is doing with us here.
