Update from our Sudan Volunteers

Caleb Brown has uploaded some beautiful new photos of life in Southern Sudan. Caleb is part of a team of 3 Lahash volunteers (along with Ashley Eggert and Jose Nunez) living and serving in Kajo Keji for a year.

The team of three is assisting Susan Tabia and a community of courageous Sudanese who have worked hard to create a home for the desperate orphans of the region. St. Bartholomew's orphanage is home to almost 70 youth and infants. The three volunteers from the United States assist with spiritual instruction, feeding, building, cooking, teaching, and other aspects of daily life. The photo below is of Jose Nunez and Caleb Brown pumping water for the children.
The team faced huge obstacles this year with a need for more staff and volunteers, they battled sickness, and there was an ever-present need for resources for the vulnerable Sudanese kids. There are always needs for more clothes, shoes, food, and medical support in this impoverished region.

But through the struggles, the team has continued to learn dependence on God and trust in him for provision and strength.

Please pray for the team. Pray for unity as they struggle to provide and care for these dear children. Pray that God will keep the team healthy and full of energy. Pray that they will sense God's joy. Pray for protection during travel and life in Sudan.

If you'd like to travel to Sudan and/or live with the team there assisting in the holistic care of the orphans - please send an email to Erin Holcomb (eholcomb@lahash.net) to get started on the process.
