May was full of blessings both in America and South Sudan! Our family finished up travel at the beginning of May, and was back in Springfield, MO just in time for Fellowship week. We were challenged and encouraged throughout the week from the speakers and the fellowship. Chelsea is establishing a daily routine with Lincoln and attending many doctor appointments. The doctor continues to say everything is good!

VBS- A Great Success
The report we received regarding Vacation Bible School in Juba was such a blessing! The youth worked in 5 different locations throughout our community. This allowed them to reach more children for VBS. Throughout the week there was a total of 988 souls ministered to with 197 salvation decisions!!!! We praise the Lord for the diligent workers who made the preparations and were faithful to work hard all week! Please pray that the children who came will come for Sunday School and grow in their relationship with God!

Women’s Ministry Update
Chelsea received an encouraging message from Peter’s wife, Diana. She told her that women’s bible study is continuing well with around 25 women in attendance. Adel was a first-time visitor to bible study, and that evening she got saved! Please pray for her because her husband does not want her to attend church. Diana also shared that they are planning a women’s conference at the end of June! What a blessing to know that our team in South Sudan is continuing to make opportunities for people to come and hear the goodness of the gospel.

Hospitality Ministry Update
We were also encouraged to see a picture of two men who were saved after church service this month: Ladu and Emmanuel. Please pray that these men will attend discipleship faithfully and lead their families according to God’s word.

Shipping Out
At the end of the month, we took a load of 17 totes to a facility in Kansas City. The cargo will travel across the ocean to Africa and ,Lord willing, it will be there by the time we arrive in September. Included in this cargo was 3 totes of pillowcase dresses, crayons, and many other ministry items. Please pray that everything will arrive smoothly.
