South Sudan

In a week's time, I head back to East Africa, not to Uganda as I have for the past several years, but to it's northern neighbor South Sudan.

I'll be serving with SP once more, this time on a food distribution program.  I'll be living in a refugee camp along the border with Sudan and managing dozens of food warehouses.  My prayer and hope is that I can quickly move from food programs to a more management focused position.  As good as I am at project management, I'd like the chance to lead a larger team and manage managers.  I turned down a position in Mozambique to pursue this gamble, so I'm trusting and praying it works out.   

This will be one of the most difficult assignments I have ever accepted.  I take it very seriously but feel very confident and I know that I go with God.  I'm excited to be fully dependent on him and to be a part of his work, helping his children in South Sudan who have suffered so much, largely due to their christian faith.  

As always, I'll bring my cameras, hammock and sense of adventure.
