The tribe brought us out to the road to show us a piece of land that was 200 meters long and 500 meters deep. They wanted to donate it to Hillcrest. After much deliberation we got the to agree to keep the land and just allow us to build the demonstration farm project on that spot when we return. It was an incredibly generous offer and one we had to delicately navigate.
Unless any of you are looking for some vacation land in Sudan, we are not going to accept the donation.

Hillcrest Church and Falls Community Church have joined together to bring the Gospel as well as humanitarian aid to a remote village in Southern Sudan. The people of Southern Sudan have been devastated by the long civil war and genocide over religious freedom. Food security is the most important need in the area we are traveling to. We are going to help the village of Kalalayi build a farm that can sustain the village and produce enough extra as to sell in the local markets.
