Sudan - February 28, 2008
More progress is being made on the community project in Sudan!
Things are coming along well with the construction on the medical clinic and housing on site in Wanyjok, Sudan.
First, the container we sent back in December 19th is now in Kenya and on its way to Sudan as we speak. It is now scheduled to arrive on site in about 10 days. So far all has gone smoothly through the port and borders. Garang has all the paperwork well in order. The Sudanese Government has given us tax exempt status so everything should go well going through the Sudan border also.
Please pray for safety of the Container while traveling through Sudan. It is a very long hard drive through rough terrain and there is a lot of precious cargo inside. Once the container arrives it will need to be lifted off the truck and placed on a pad being built for it. The 40 ft container will then become our new warehouse for all the precious cargo and equipment until it is used and/or distributed.
Inside the container is all the equipment we purchased in Canada for the construction and equipping of the clinic, school, housing etc. There are a lot of tools, two generators, lots of clothes and food for the community.
We also received a shipment of more materials needed to build. 90.000 blocks arrived safely along with more cement and lumber. We had to purchase a lot of blocks on top of what we have already made on site so the clinic can be built quickly. It is a large project that is very important for the community. The sooner it is finished the sooner lives will be saved and the faster the people will receive Jesus as Lord. Garang said at the rate things are going the main structure for the clinic will be finished by the end of March. The finishing work and electrical will take another month or so.
We thank you all for your continued prayers and financial support. Garang will be sending some photos in a couple of weeks. When he does we will be sure to forward them to you. Until then, be blessed.
Thanks again to all of our partners in the Sudan project.
