It has been the longest most stressful departure in the history of airports. If Sudan does not get this fixed they are going to seriously hurt their ability to have people come to visit or anything.
Deena was nearly cavity searched and we were extorted by corrupt government officials at every turn. Praise God we are on the plane. These are our last minutes in Sudan. Nairobi here we come. Please continue to pray for our safety and transition out of Kenya customs for our over night stay in Kidjabe. It is about an hour and a half drive. We are covered in dirt that has turned to mud in the 108 humid air. We smell like the bush and we are looking forward to showers very soon.
A man named Patrick is supposed to pick us up. He will have a sign with our name on it. The plane is powering up so I will hit send and the next time you hear from us we will be in Kenya (knock on wood!).

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.
