It is either now or never. There is no going back.!!

Shalom to you and family. Wow, Iam very excited and thanking God everyday for all your prayers and support. All over sudden, it is like an explosion of of field report pouring into my office daily because our team on the ground are not sleeping and God is giving them extra measure of Grace. Thanks to your generosity and prayers. We cannot thank God enough for you. What God is doing through your generosity is truly a transformation of one person, one family, and one church and one community at a time. You are giving them the tools. They are doing the work and expanding the Great Commission. My trip is in two weeks. Thank you for keeping me and my family in prayer.

What is happening right now from the last time?.

Operation Nehemiah's country Director Timothy and his wife Joyce Levi and the team have safely arrived at their permanent mission campus in Bethlehem Borongole. Upon arrival, they teamed up with field staff from the Beth Israel farmland and began working right away. The women and the children brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the work. These families are not fooling around. They were like bees very busy. We are just giving them a push of encouragement and prayers to press ahead from 6500 miles away. It is like reading the Little House in the Prairies here in American early days of pioneering the wilderness and blazing the unchartered horizon.

The generous man is a source of blessing and shall be prosperous and enriched, And he who waters will himself be watered reaping the generosity he has sown". Proverbs 11:25

Thank you for putting smiles on their faces

They launched incursion against the wilderness, desolations, fear and moral decadence. These families are taking back what Satan has stolen from them and they years the locust have eaten from their lives: their voices, their lives, their families, their properties, their faith, their community and fields. As they arrived at the mission compound, they wasted no time. Men, women and children rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They first dedicated the mission campus to the Lord. They washed all the floors in the buildings. They used the backhoes to clear all the outstanding rubbish around the mission properties. They set up grinding mill. They joined the harvesting season going on in the Beth Israel Farmland. Tomorrow, they are going into the community taking the backhoe to clear rubbish around delipidated medical facilities, schools and a town hall that were abandoned. While 34 Miles at Yerushalayim summit, they oversaw the completion of the painting and restoration of the water point and sent the men off their way.

God is using you to make it all happens , this your labor of love for God's people

This is what restoration of community looks like. It is the work of God among his people through His people and that is you, your generosity and prayers. Timothy told me to tell you to thank you for your prayers, because they knew, you were praying for them to be resolved to be strong and courageous.

They pressed forward amidst opposition from within and from without.

The families earlier one had faced opposition from within and from without at the South Sudan’s border with Uganda. Border Authorities would not allow them to enter the country. They were doing their job. This bump on the road only emboldened them to make their resolve to move forward, as they were cleared into the country. No body belongs in South Sudan more than them. This was a test of motive in display.

Repartition comes with a lot of work and challenges

Even though all these women and children are integral part of the men who have not left the country and kept working inside South Sudan for the mission for all these four years, they were subjected to immigration scrutiny. Nevertheless, they must deal with the authority at the border as they were coming with their wives and children. They found themselves being detained and grilled for 6 hours by Immigration authorities . But they knew this was a test. God is testing their resolve whether they wanted to go back? They chose to cross the Red Rea. It is like Nehemiah 3 in action. All these trials helped them to stay united and remain strong and restore that which was breached. They were all united to work together for this good work.

Cleaning and washing all the mission properties for sanitation purposes

Agriculture and basic services– We are in the middle of harvesting. We got at least 20-30 men and women as we speak harvesting crops in the field. We are setting up the grinding mill and a small kiosk in the mission compounds where people can access food, salt, soap, stationery, printing etc. instead of going back to Nimule or crossing over again into Uganda for these basic needs.
