On The Road Again

After a busy week in Lui, Cliff and his co-worker Matt leave Saturday morning (at 7am) for Yei, which is on the way to Juba. Because of the nature of roads in Sudan, this trip will take about eight bumpy and tiresome hours. Cliff has become quite a professional at facing these road conditions, though, as most trips around Lui, to neighboring villages for church meetings, building projects, etc. take anywhere from an hour to three hours, just to go 15-30 miles at a time. His time in Lui sounds as though it has been eventful; they had several VIPs come into town to work on a documentary, which he thinks he might have a few appearances in. Also, he’s been driving the land cruiser as well as the lorry (fancy name for a big truck) quite a bit, transporting materials and workers to finish up church projects in local villages. In fact, he was often taking care of a lot of this on his own! Speaking of, it looks like Cliff will be in Yei for the next month or two, and after the first few weeks, will probably be running the base there on his own.

He has asked for your prayers for safe travels to Yei and also for continued protection as they transition into the work there in that town and with the people of that region. God has evidently been with him through some interesting situations, and so he also mentioned being very thankful for all of your prayers thus far.

Thanks!
