We have met several times with Father Angelo, the Catholic Priest and he has provided us with 15 Dinka Riek New Testaments to bring home. Those who donated money at last year's annual COC State Convention will be pleased to know we have finally been able to secure these. They were only published last year. He has also given Joseph church calendars in Dinka which will be very useful to the United Sudanese Fellowship.
For those from Magill COC, you will be so pleased to hear the wonderful news that Juer's mother and younger sister are alive and are living in Khartoum. I met two of Juer's sisters in Aweil and they have only recently heard news from their mother since the attack in 2000. I know many in our church have prayed for the older sister to Yeiu (Ambrose), Aguil and Atak, who went missing last year as we were planning to bring her to Australia. I dont have much news about her, except to say she is safe and living in Khartoum. Needless to say, Juer was very excited when I rang with the news. Thank God!

Hi Steve and Joseph, Reading your blog is exciting and encouraging. There is a strong sense of God in it all and of your energy and hope in what you are experiencing. Thanks for sharing with us your experiences. We continue in prayer for you both and know that you are being used by God.

Hi John. Thanks for your encouragement and prayers. We are both doing well. We expect to have another week here in Aweil and then a couple of days in Juba. Our time is productive but we are aware of what we still want to do in our remaining time.
Best wishes,
Steve & Joseph
