Florence and Her New Sewing Machine

The Busy Bee Sewing Circle of Fielder-South Oaks Church has placed their first donated sewing machine with Florence in Uganda. I have attached a brief bio on Florence and we will be praying that she will be able to better support her family by working with this machine and that she will also be able to teach others to sew. She is pictured here with her Bible Study Friends . They call themselves The Esther Group. Maybe they can eventually start their own sewing circle! Dream Big!

Please pray for them!

This machine was funded by Kevin Suggs.

My mother and sister Margaret Bullard Nowlin

taught me to sew on a machine very much like this one. It just had a different cabinet.

Mission to S. Sudanese Women in Refugee Camps

I am so excited that after nearly two years I am finally getting ready go to visit my friends and the people that we have worked with over the years in South Sudan. I am sorry that I will not be able to see them in their own country but nevertheless I will get to be with them even though it will be in the refugee camps of Uganda where the South Sudanese have fled for refuge and safety from clashes of rival military groups that have driven them from their homes and villages. Please consider donating to help make this trip a blessing to those we will be ministering to in the refugee camps during this Christmas (nearly) visit.
Matthew 25: 35 - For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 36 - I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’


Since 2007 I have been going to South Sudan and working with First Baptist Church of Kajo Keji and church planting teams to plant new churches in South Sudan. 
During this time there have been over 300 new churches started. 

Over the past couple of years 100's of thousands of South Sudanese have had to leave their homes because of Civil War. Many have had to run taking nothing with them but the clothes on their backs to save their lives and the lives of their children. They have run to refugee camps in Uganda and other bordering countries for safety. For sometime now we have not been able to go into South Sudan safely because of the volatility there. However, there are now opportunities  to go into the refugee camps and encourage and strengthen the people and churches that are being started in the camps.

Over the years I have also worked with Rose Dima who is the Women's Ministry leader at First Baptist Church of Kajo Keji in South Sudan. On different occasions we have gone to villages in South Sudan to disciple and encourage the women and have done different projects with them and held women's conferences . I am very excited about this trip to work with Rose and Joyce again and to visit in two or three of the Refugee Camps in Uganda where the South Sudanese Refugees are now living and to visit with 6 of the churches that are planted there. We will be teaching and encouraging the women and strengthening the church.

I am planning to leave December 6th and return on December 16th.  I will again work with First Baptist Church of Wudu/Kajo Keji and Pastor Edward Dima and his wife Rose and David Kaya as we visit the camps to encourage them (Pastor Edward is also President of the South Sudan Baptist Convention). I am asking that you would please consider going with me through giving to the outreaches we are planning and also go with me through praying for us as we minister to the churches in the camps. The following are some of the things we hope to do and use as a platform to share the Gospel as we reach out and encourage and disciple the women, men and children in the camps.

Please click on link below to donate to this mission. I still need to raise funds for Soccer Balls, money to provide a Christmas Dinner for the churches we visit, Maama Kits, Afripads and a love offering to leave behind to purchase more Beans and Maize for the churches.

Visiting Women @ Limi Church

This is Lucia Adinga Lodu. She is the leader of the women at the Limi Church. She welcomed us to her village and shared about what the women there are hoping to do. It is their desire to plant a field and grow enough food to feed their families and hopefully have some left over to sell and have money to tithe to the church. They had the land available to them but did not have any implements or seed to get started. The three of us ladies form the USA visiting with them felt led to hire a tractor to have their field plowed quickly and then gave money to buy hoes to dig with and seeds to plant. It was the beginning of the digging and rainy season so time was of the essence in getting the seeds in the ground.

Meeting with the Women of the Church at Aliwa

Visiting Pastor Sam and the Women of Aliwa Baptist Church What a sweet time of fellowship we had at Aliwa Baptist Church. They have just completed their church building and Pastor Sam allowed us to be the first ones to meet in it. It is a very nicely built, natural to the culture building. I was very impressed with the workmanship and they said it was because of Pastor Sam's construction skills. We shared a few words of encouragement with them and then we shared a very nice meal of Casava Greens, Fried Chicken and Posho. These visits to the women of the churches have great meaning to me as a woman. The hospitality in this village was outstanding. They told us we could have land and could build our own tukels and live with them there if we ever wanted to. It made me want to move to Aliwa. They only had two homemade chairs in their church. I can't wait to see how it has prospered when I go there next time.

Women's Leadership Seminar in Kajo Keji, South Sudan

This is from Rose Dima leader of Women's Ministry at First Baptist Church in Kajo Keji, South Sudan:

Praise the Lord, the Lord has been so good to us, the long awaited key women's seminar was held last Saturday and Sunday, March 30 & 31. Two women also came from Juba. We taught lessons on spiritual holiness, giving and tithing, roles of women in the church and a lesson on leadership. One lady from Joru church came with another lady who is a Sunday school teacher in her church, the fact is that she is teaching children, but she was not " born again". Thank God that she finally went back saved. Vicky Sadia who came from Juba, said she could not go back to Juba without baptism and so we had just come from baptizing her in one of the photos. 25 women from Kajo Keji and Juba attended the seminar. There is also a photo of the daughter of Rose and Edward. Her name is Carol and she was one year old on March 30.
