You have undoubtedly heard of the three wise men and the three little pigs but how about three men going over to Khartoum, Sudan to lead a conference to children's leaders in local churches? There is a surge of excitement in reaching children for Jesus Christ in a Muslim dominated country. This is Micheal Harris' second year in leading a group of people to teach at a week long conference where there will be classes on how to effectively and creatively teach the Bible to children and adults.

The venture begins on Thursday, November 30th, as Micheal Harris, Vergil Brown and Gary Strudler board the plane that will take them to Khatoum via Seattle, Amsterdam and Nairobi.

In Nairobi, they will be joining Rosemary Khamati who represents Sudan Evangelical Alliance Partners in Africa. The vision of SEA is to re-unite and strengthen the church in Sudan and work with and through the evangelical churches to reach out to the rest of the churches in Sudan. Rosemary is responsible for training church leaders, instructing school and Sunday school teachers, developing church-run school programs and helping to get medicine, equipment and short-term medical teams to existing health facilities. All these mission programs will be facilitated through the churches in northern and southern Sudan.

Please be praying for:
- Rosemary as her father passed away this week. She will be joining her family for the funderal before leaving for Sudan. She has asked that our prayers be for strength and grace from the Lord for her and her siblings.
- final preparations
- health and safety both here and there and in-between!
- Sudan government allowing us and our supplies into their country
- sensitivity on our part to the Holy Spirit's leadings in our teaching and ministering to the leaders
- unity of all staff
