Life in Yei
It's now my 4th day on the SP church reconstruction compound in Yei, South Sudan and life is good. I must admit however I was the first of the new arrivals to come down with a bug...literally! I've been in bed the better part of the last 36 hours as sick as I've been before. The sang over here is "The first man down, the first man up"...whatever I still feel terrible. Anyhow, I've learned my role over the next 12 months. I will be the field finacial officer for the entire program. Maybe a bit different from what I initally imagined, but a lot more responsibility than previously thought. There are 2 divisions in this project. The Yei base (the main hub with 4 sub-bases) and the Nuba Mts (can't even find on a map). I will be overseeing finances for the Yei project and their 4 sub-plots...should be a great learning experience. The project has grown so quick, they've outgrown all the previous system and the financal end has suffered. I have a friend from the Boone office overseeing all of the finances in South Sudan that was destined for Nairobi, but (by the grace of God) will be living here in Yei. Big Help! Anyhow, continue to pray for the people of Sudan and the continued peace in this region. I'll explain more when I'm feeling better...love you all Joey

Hi Joe, you will be a financial wizzard in a year's time. You are made for such a time like this - academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically... for SUDAN..in SUDAN.. via SUDAN. Praying that you will get better. In the meantime, rejoice that you are in Christ and making disciples. That's rad. Bel

Why have a blog when no one can print and read your writing. To be a true witness you should allow people to decide whethter they want to read it or print and read it. This is the first blog I came across that I can't choose whether I can print it and read it because I like what I see in the blog.
