Plans for Sudan Mission

Michael, the leader of our Sudan Mission, just wrote an update with regards to our upcoming journey and has described the situation very well:

          I’m sure you’re aware of our vision, desire, plans, and leading from the Lord to go to Sudan. If you haven’t yet seen the YouTube video detailing the vision by Dr. Peter Hammond, then you might want to check it out here.
          Our faith is under fire! We strongly believe that God has led us to embark on this Mission to Sudan to support our Brothers and Sisters in building their new country on Biblical principles. We are ready to depart. We have the teams ready, we have the literature and training material, we have the vehicles, but we still do not have sufficient funds for fuel. We do trust that God will provide according to His will.
          Some are saying that if it is God’s will for this to happen, He would have provided all the necessary funds in advance. I’m not sure what you think about that, but I don’t agree. Yes, sometimes God does provide in advance all that is necessary to complete the task, but normally, He provides just our daily bread. Think of the Israelites in the desert when God provided for them manna from heaven. He only gave them enough for each day. Think of Elisha when God fed him daily by means of the ravens bringing him meat. Think of the widow who gave her last flour and oil to make Elisha bread who thereafter was daily provided with enough flour and oil to make bread for each day. The Bible is full of examples of how God provides daily what is needed for each day.
          Jesus Himself has said, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”          So, although it would be best to go with two vehicles, because of a lack of funds, we are going to have to go with only one vehicle. This is a good vehicle and is the best one to use, but any lone vehicle out in the rough African terrain is vulnerable and at risk.
          Even though there is not enough funds to get us there even with only one vehicle, we are prepared to get going and trust that God will provide for us as we travel. God is Faithful!
