James Mabior, president of WYDA (Werkok Youth Development Association) came to our Sunday gathering to share about the work that is being done in Werkok, Sudan to "promote clean water, job training, leadership skills and education" (see website at www.wydasudan.org for more information). James was born in Werkok and has a deep desire and commitment to help this community rebuild in a sustainable, environmentally responsible way. His journey to his hometown provided the focus on clean water and education - 99% of the population is currently using unclean water. He shared with us that when there is cleaner water available, young girls and women walk 10-20 miles each day to get it and that this prevents them from pursuing other goals such as education. James' passion for his community was evident as he shared his story and his plans for the future.
Prayer Items:
Continued prayer for NESI (see previous post) and for WYDA as they prepare for and carry out their work in the Sudan.
Rhoda Yar: for her education as well as her family/health
Johnson: Continued health, energy and wisdom as he works for CRADA
More to come.... stay tuned -
