Changing lives

JACKS FAMILY ( shown above) – Over three years ago, while on route to Sudan, Tom walked past a goat in a village in Uganda, he turned around and began to talk to him.. no one was watching, so he thought, then he heard a child giggle – He was caught! The Children explained that the name of the goat was “Jack”. One little incident led to a relationship with13 people with amazing stories. We praise God for this family who trust in our Living Lord and the opportunity to give them a hand up! Read more in our upcoming April Newsletter! – Lives that change lives that change lives!

Pray for Jack’s family – God’s protection, health and for them to grow spiritually. ( One of the boys desires to preach like Tom. )

Update on South Sudan :

Four top South Sudanese politicians have gone on trial on charges of treason after being accused of plotting a coup against the government.

This was their first court appearance since their arrest in December, when a rebellion that has killed thousands of people broke out in South Sudan. The accused held senior posts in the governing party before falling out with President Salva Kiir. However, they have previously denied the charges – which carry the maximum sentence of death.

They have not yet pleaded to the charges read out in court.

Pray for the four accused and for the Justice System of South Sudan.

The four are:

Pagan Amum, former secretary general of the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM).
Oyai Deng Ajak, former national security minister .
Majak D’Agoot, former deputy defence minister .
Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, former ambassador to the US.
