Mike and Amy Yordt will soon be in Sudan! They are leaving behind everything to serve full time in Tonj. I could not be more excited about that. I first met Mike while planning RdR's first trip to Sudan in August 2009. A month or two later, I met Amy when she joined our team. We first went to Tonj together in February of 2009. It's funny to think about that trip now. Amy and I were so freaked out that first day and didn't know how we were going to make it through the rest of the trip. However, God knew what was to come and planted seeds on that trip. Neither of us knew then that God would call us back. Mike and Amy came back with me in October 2009 and flew home a couple weeks later. It was very surreal to see them flying away and not be with them. A few months later, I was overjoyed when they told us they would be moving to Tonj. At the time, it seemed so far away. Now they will be here in two and a half weeks. Please pray for them as they finish preparations and say good-bye to family and friends. Pray that God provides all the support they need and give them peace as they start their new life in Tonj.

Ok.....my first tears of the day! Thank you Stacie....today will be a bittersweet day saying goodbye to everyone and looking ahead to saying hello to you and Suzy and everyone else there. Thank you for your prayers, I know you know what I'm feeling right now. God is truly amazing!
