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.
