The Cush Consultation is a conference for Christian Non-Government-Organisations (NGOs) and missions working in Southern Sudan and was hosted by Across in Yei at the end of September. The theme was “The Body of Christ Working in Unity – Strategic Ministry in Southern Sudan until 2011” (in 2011 southern Sudan votes for independence from the north – a decisive year for the peace in Sudan).The two weeks before Cush were super busy with organising things – I was doing the registrations on the Yei end and was put in charge of the worship for the conference. But I can honestly say it was a joy and a pleasure! In a whole we had approximately 100 people present representing about 25 organisations and it was a fantastic time of networking and meeting people. I was greatly encouraged by the fact that we had a working group dedicated to Nuba Mountains and there seems to be increasing interest in working there. I was also so happy to see Pastor Moris again who flew down from Nuba to attend the conference. I spent 1 week with him and his family when I went to Nuba in June.
I have about 5 weeks left in Sudan and I’d ask you to pray for a good wind-up with Across, work-wise and also relationship-wise. Please pray for wisdom and guidance as I prepare to leave Yei knowing that once again I have to leave behind friends that have become family to me.
All my Sundays before Christmas are now full, but I am still free from January to May. If you would like me to come to your church please email either myself or Caroline at missionsadmin@elimhq.net
I will see a lot of you in about 6 weeks :-)
