I am the NW Regional Director for SIM and the Sudan Team Leader. I served in Nigeria with SIM for 10 years and have led short term teams in Mexico, Romania, Nigeria, Kenya, Paraguay, China and now Sudan.
The opportunity in Southern Sudan is a unique challenge and I am very grateful for the committed team which the Lord has raised up.
Ranger Rick, oh how I love you brother, and please know that Diane and I are praying for you and with you. And don't forget, you did a short term missions trip to Ethiopia just last year. God bless you Rick. Brother John in Halsey.
A firefighter, soldier, engineer, doctor, admin assistant, housewife, planner and a missionary are on a plane... No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's the beginning of a journey. Join us through this blog as we travel to Southern Sudan to show God's love in this hurting world.
Here I Am Lord
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, we pray that our faith-experience of you keep pace with our credal statements about you. Grace us with the courage to pray. Anoint us with the spirit of compassion that we may be with you in the passion of our times; that we may be poor with those who are poor, mourn with those who mourn, enter into the struggle of our generation for social justice, treat others as we would like to be treated. We pray for the courage to risk everything on you, to be with you in your faithfulness, to your mission, our mission. For this I have come into the world to say, "Here I am Lord, I come to do your will."
Ranger Rick, oh how I love you brother, and please know that Diane and I are praying for you and with you. And don't forget, you did a short term missions trip to Ethiopia just last year. God bless you Rick. Brother John in Halsey.
