Thanks for your prayers! Shortly after I wrote the blog and email, the gun shots stopped and we were able to carry on with our work. The man who was shot was taken to Wau by two of our staff members. Due to a doctor's strike in Wau, they were told he would have to go to Khartoum, which is in Northern Sudan, for treatment. I don't know what will happen to him. Before he left, Sabet shared the gospel with him and he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Please keep him in your prayers. Also, please pray that the people will get the resources (food) they need so there won't be any more trouble.
Just another reminder: we are ok. Things like like this have happened before. It's just my first time experiencing it. Although things were chaotic outside, all of us in the compound felt safe and at peace. We had a really neat church service this morning. Sabet shared about Gideon and we had a time of prayer and sharing Scripture. Our church represents many different nationalities and I really felt the scope of the church at large. Knowing churches back home were praying for us as well just bonded us as brothers and sisters in Christ. It's neat to see how God can use uncertain times to bring us closer to Him.
