Sudan Day 4

Today was the first day that I have ever taught in a formal setting. A humbling experience, but an honor to teach on understanding the fear of the Lord - or viewing ourselves right-sized before God.

Jason and Michael discuss todays topics.

I was able to teach the pastors a worship song we do back home.

Me teaching on the fear of the Lord. The iPad is great for teaching.

Sudan Day 3

Today was the start of the pastor's conference here in Yei. It was a great time of teaching and Q&A. The curriculum we are going through is the Step Studies/Recovery program that is taught at the Village Church. A 14 week program that we are cramming into 1 week!
