Natasha's Babies 'n' Bible


Hello!  

These are two pictures of me with the Baby Bible class, where we have kids from 1 year old till 3 years old. We sing with them kids worship songs and have a time of Bible lesson...it is very cute to see these little children holding the Bible in their hands... The second  picture is with the lady from our Women's ministry Bible studies...her name is Christine and she just received the Lord...it was very encouraging because she was the one who came to me and asked to pray with her because she wanted to be saved...It does not happen very often...usually people are already saved or they think so...but the most times when you share the Gospel they just want you to leave them alone...which is very sad... so, praise the Lord for another sister in Christ!

Blessings,

Natasha





Blazing The Trail


Here are some more pictures of the hard work of our crew. John, Mike, Eric, Heath, Rob, Bob and Ed have been blazing a trail. These guys are such a blessing! They all volunteered to come and work and train. They have made the work a lot of fun! It’s very hot but no one is distracted by the heat, they are here to serve God and nothing is going to stop them! We now have new windows in the staff quarters, ceiling fans that will run on solar power, and a new gate! Tomorrow Ed will go with James to a forward operations base for an outreach. Please pray God will use them to win souls and to encourage our chaplains. The rest of the team will be installing windows in our resource library and working on the front fence. By the time they go back on Thursday this place will feel like its brand new….please keep praying for them.

Telling The Story With Pictures


Austin Priest has been using his artistic gifts to brighten up the entire compound! Look at the murals he drew and painted for the children. I wish you could see the delight on their faces as they come up and trace the animals with their figures. The Sudanese describe their smiles like this, “All the teeth came out!”
Just one more way we can bring the message of Jesus to Africa……

Chaplain Beret Patches


In 2000, while the first class of graduated chaplains awaited commissioning they built a large round sitting room. They wanted every class of students to have a comfortable place to fellowship that was made by those who have gone ahead. It has served well for the last ten years! Austin Priest has been painting the chaplain beret patches around the outside and inside of the structure…come and take a look….he is an amazing artist! Thank you God for bringing him at just the right time to help us!

Nile River Baptism


This last Sunday, Calvary Chapel Nimule held a baptism in the Nile River!  Pastor James Olal and Ed Gauntt (FRM Operations Officer) had the honor of baptizing these young converts.  The choir, all dressed in yellow t-shirts, came along and stood at the river bank singing worship songs.  It was a wonderful celebration of new life in Christ!

2 Corinthians 5:17
