A Small Taste of the Sudan...

Here are a few pictures from Parker's trip...

Parker and Coby Allen about to get on the 25 passenger plane to fly into Kajo Kaji.

Parker playing a game with some of the Sudan boys.

Parker and some of the natives...(notice the Obama shirt).
A Southern Sudan village...the fields they farm in with their mud huts in the background.

Loving the balloons!!! The lady on the far right in the yellow shirt is the one that accepted Christ.

"Church" under the mango tree. Notice the "pews"....basically sticks/logs. The mango trees provide the most shade so that is where they meet.

A toddler at the orphanage...so sad. Most of the kids are there because their mom died in childbirth and their dads are alcoholics. Because the Sudan is so underdeveloped due to the war, there is no process of adoption.

Parker and one of the orphans...

The bathroom where they stayed...

Parker's bunkhouse...

This little kid (with the white on her face) is Kate's age...

Parker got to talk about the importance of baptism...

Parker and his translator, Emanuel.

  1. Parker, great pictures. We are so glad that you had a good trip and are now home safely. We pray that God continues to work in the people you met in the Sudan and in all of the team members here. Love and blessings, have a good week at work. June and TW
    BTW, the beard looks great on you. Did Kate get to see you with it?
