Juba, Sudan!
I arrived safely into juba today from kampala. The airport is very dated, but once you get past that, they are starting to rebuild the city after years of war. The roads are new and paved, and they have power lines up. It is the capital of this providence of southeran Sudan, so it is getting a lot of attention and money.
The President of the Evangelial Lutheran Church in Sudan met me at the airport. He was in the Khartoum office last year so I didn't get to meet him then. We had lunch, and now both of us are at this internet cafe emailing!!
I am in a hotel that is costing an unbelieveable $100/night (average for this town I am told). The "rooms" are somewhat like those portable construction offices they bring to construction sites. However, they have wall A/C and running water (ie: Baths and Showers!) It is very hot here, like summer in Phoenix hot.
If the Lord wills, I will be in Yambio tomorrow!

Hi Pastor,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you arrived in Juba safely. Marjorie and I have been praying for you daily, We pray for your safety, health and that the Lord will use you in a mighty way, and that many will come to know the Lord through His message.
Don,t get too used to the A/C there at your hotel in Juba. From what you told us last year there is no A/C in Yambio. At least you will be all primed for summer when you get back home.
Keep looking up. The Lord reigns.
Don & Marjorie.
