Urgent Prayer Request from Mark

Hi Everyone,

I just received an email from Pastor Zhenya this morning that there was a powerful tornado Sunday evening which destroyed the camp facilities and it will not be possible to hold camp at this location. (Camp is scheduled to take place next week – from July 5-15.)

Praise the Lord that it happened before the camp began and not during camp. We would appreciate your prayers as the church seeks other options for camp.

Attached are some photos showing the extent of the damage. I will keep you posted when I have more information.

Praying that God will make a way.

God bless you,

Mark

Photos from the Meet and Greet!

Here are some photos of the guests who came to support Far Reaching ministries and meet James Olal, one of our senior Chaplains in Sudan!  Praise the LORD, we raised over $2,300 that will benefit the Chaplains over in Africa!  Check back later for more of these great portraits!

Tailoring Class: Children and Baloons

Children play with balloons while their mothers are learning to sew.  Here at the FRM Nimule Compound women are busy everyday in our tailoring class.  Each session, 10 women are selected to train as tailors.  At the end of the 3-4 month training, the ladies are ready to start their own business sewing cloths. This is a wonderful opportunity that these ladies could not afford without help. Thank you to our faithful supporters for making this possible!

Nimule Tailoring Class

Ladies in the Nimule Tailoring Class are very busy this month cutting and sewing school uniforms.  In a few weeks, these uniforms will be part of a ‘love’ pack distribution for students in a nearby village.  These ladies have learned the trade and are now sewing 350 school uniforms as practice.  Upon graduation, they will be skilled enough to begin making an income tailoring for people in the community.  

Outreach Training Group

Ladies in our Outreach Training Group practice for their first outreach.  This wonderful group of committed ladies have been coming each Saturday for additional training in the foundations of the faith.  They will now begin to take these teachings to their communities.  They will graduate on 26^th June and their first outreach in this Saturday, 19^th June. Our Master of Ceremonies is this wonderful lady you see speaking, Mary Yar, from the Dinka tribe. Sitting beside her is Sabina, from the Madi tribe, and an Acholi speaker.  Both of these ladies are very active here in Nimule, S. Sudan, with the Women’s ministries.  The dancing lady, praising God is Cesarina Foni, from the Madi tribe.  She will be leading the outreach in song and praise.  She is always a blessing, full of energy and joy.

Please join us in prayer as these ladies reach out to the lost in their communities to share the hope only Jesus can give.
