I happened to check out Ross Kelly's blog "Deep South Sudan" this morning and am deeply moved to pray for him, the children he is caring for at Cornerstone Children's Home in Nimule, and for all of Sudan as the scenario looks really bleak for people there. If you want to join me in prayer click on Deep South Sudan and read Ross's last two blogs. I am reminded that even though things look extremely bleak, God is still in control. We just cannot see all He is doing in the dark mess of humanitarian crisis. But I do know that the perseverance of the saints, as Ross so poignantly communicates, is a powerful witness in that incredible spiritual and physical struggle there.
2 Corinthians 4:8 speaks loudly in all of this: "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down; but not destroyed." Only God can do that in people's lives.
