Nuba Base Taking Root
By Marisa Deyl
March 8, 2007

It is always a good feeling to know that people are praying for us and are involved in what is happening here in the Nuba Mountains.

We are doing well and hopefully we will be able to shift to the new compound this week. The construction was slow because we were lacking the funds but God’s timing is always perfect.

We are very busy with home evangelizing. We go in the morning to various homes in the villages to share the love of God with the people. As we shift to our own compound we are hoping to start our own fellowship. There are a lot of people who are looking for a Church that is a bit different from the traditional Church of Sudan. Even the foreigners who are here working for various non-governmental organizations are looking for a place to fellowship. God is showing us that this could be a way to start.

Tabitha, Musa and Yohana and his family are doing well.

We recently received Bibles and evangelizing booklets. This was a real answer to prayer but we still need more of those and are looking forward to receiving more from other well-wishers.

We plan to soon start offering leadership training courses to the pastors and church leaders as we have noted with concern that leadership skills are lacking here in the Nuba Mountains.

Continue to pray for us as we get ready to transfer to our new compound. Pray that God will also give us favor and wisdom as we minister to the Muslims.

We continue to trust that God will bless us with a vehicle

Blessings to you,
Marisa and the Nuba Team
