Update in Akot.


Update in Akot.

If you read the small news on this you would understand where I am coming from.

Basically in Akot a gun battle broke out between the cattle boys and the army. Out of the battle a lot army men died cause the cattle boys carry guns too! Then out of revenge some solders went through Akot and burned the houses, killed people, and looted all through the stores and peoples homes. Many people of the Akot area were displaced and left suffering.

I was currently working with CAP, Christian Aids Project. The creators and leaders of this organization is Whitney and Jennifer two of my teammates. 4Sho! I was very exciting to be working with them. I got to learn a lot and see God move in so many ways.

 

God even blessed us to be able to go to cattle camp! We talk to some of the pastors there in Akot and two of them went with us to a cattle camp, Peter and Joseph. We had so much fun there and the volunteers loved it. The camp was filled with cows and families. CAP got to teach on the prevention of Aids and spread the word of God. We all wanted to stay more nights. At the end of the teaching, the men of the cattle camp said “no NGO or anybody has come to teach us the prevention of Aids and share the word of God like you all” I was really blessed to hear that. A path must start from somewhere and I am so blessed to be apart of trying to build it.

I thank CAP for letting me take part in working with them and fighting Aids.

I thank our volunteers for being such a great team and helping us through this seed planting time of spreading God’s word. I really hope I could work with them again.

 

Please pray the people in Akot and the displaced, the food we gave is still very little and we are planning to do another, ask God that He works that out and peace comes there, as tension is still high between the army and the cattle men.

Please pray for our pastors in Akot their homes were looted as well and in need of food. Abraham our leader Dinka pastor took no part in the food we gave our pastors. So pray that God blesses him for his selflessness ways.

 

Pray for the people in the cattle camp of Paloc, that the Holy spirit will speak to them on getting closer to God there, and that they will keep what they learned about the prevention of Aids and teach their young.

Please pray that we can go back there and follow up on the work there.

Thank you.
