Mundri Friends

Last night we had the joy of hosting two of our friends from Mundri to our house for dinner. Bishop Bismark (the Bishop of Mundri and our close ministry partner/ neighbor in Mundri) and Paul (the dean of the theological school we partner with in Mundri) are in town for an agriculture conference and were able to visit us on their evening off. It was such a joy to see Bishop and Paul! We were able to catch up and hear how things are going in Mundri. I enjoyed hearing a little bit of Moru (it's been too long, I need to practice!).

Having Bishop and Paul visit reminded us of how much we miss Mundri. We are so fortunate to be able to partner with both of them in South Sudan and are eager to get back to the work we were doing there. Seeing them reminded us of the need to pray for South Sudan and the Moru people. Here are some ways we are praying for the people of Mundri. Please join us in praying for them.

• Pray for peace in South Sudan. Pray that the war will end and the country will experience God's shalom peace. 

• Pray that God would provide for the people of Mundri. The economy in South Sudan is really struggling and things in the market are very expensive! Please pray that people would be able to provide for their families and have enough food to eat. 

• Rainy season has hit hard this year. It has rained much heavier than usual this early in the rainy season. Please pray that houses would not be damaged by the heavy rains. Pray for protection for the people in Mundri as the roads continue to worsen due to the heavy rain. 

Thank you for upholding the Moru people in prayer. We long for the day we can be together with them again, but for now, we are grateful for the visit with Paul and Bishop and we will continue to pray for protection, provision and peace for the people in Mundri.
