Kotobi

this was my second week teaching at kotobi teacher college. since english is now the official language of the new south sudan, teachers are required to take courses as part of their training. and i get to help! 

they are such a fun group, eager to learn and ready to participate in my activities. pray for my relationships with these teachers, that they would be encouraged in their studies, and that God would be growing them as leaders to impact their community.

Time of the Season

as rainy days are more frequent and the heat of the dry season is behind us, it’s planting time here in mundri. everyone is busy in their gardens, tilling the soil and planting seeds.

mary shows off her newly sprouted garden.

children head to school, hoe in hand, ready to dig in their school garden.

even liana and i have embraced our inner farmer, sowing flower seeds behind the new school house.

i love this season. the long rains. the cool mornings. all things new and hopeful. it’s refreshing to see beautiful mundri, covered in green again.
