Deneen's Story


The First full day in Sudan Keli and I went to the church of women to share scripture and witness for the Lord. There was about 6 women there due to a tragic car accident which happened the night before, so many of the Sudanese were in mourning for the death of one of their close friends whose pregnant wife had lost her life. The women were very apologetic and said that they knew we came a long ways to share the word of God with them and that they would take our message back to them and share it. As Keli gave her testimony with an interpreter, the 86 year old woman piped up and replied, "we know you leave the comfort of your home, your cars, and your things to come here and share God's word, and even though the color of our skin is different we share the same troubles and burdens, and even though you come from the other side of the world, we are all one! This made me cry tears of joy in seeing how our Awesome God is the same there as He is here! And that He is doing the same thing all over the world, winning souls for His Kingdom!! Blessings, Deneen
