FROM R.K.'s corner
september 2009

xxxxFrom focusing on Central Asia for several months, we are now turning to Africa for a while, as we will give you an update on the ministry partners we help sponsor on that continent.  They all have their own ministries. The Bridge comes alongside and helps them with finances and other resources. Each person presented, has a passionate call to fulfill the Great Commission in the area where they swerve. They all battle on the front lines in extending the love of Jesus on the African ontinent.  xxxxIn this issue, we feature Sabet and Suzy Kuj - friends and ministry partners in Africa.

xxxxxx.Sabet and Suzy, with their children, live and serve in Tonj, South Sudan. Steve and I have met Sabet and Suzy on several occasions. We have a great respect for who they are and admire their love, tender hearts, and their faithfulness and tenacity in serving the suffering people of South Sudan. In this issue, instead of writing about Sabet and Suzy from my perspective, I have asked them to present in their own words who they are, what they do, and why they have chosen to live in one of the toughest places on earth. 

xxxxxxPlease click on ARTICLES or ARCHIVES and read the SEPTEMBER BRIDGE REPORT where you will find information on the Discipleship Training School for Pastors which Sabet has established and administrates, and their medical clinic where thousands are being touched - in body and soul - by Suzy's caring hands and heart.

xxxxxxClick on the button Stastics on South Sudan on the left menu, and you will find a map of Sudan and some statistical information on the current way of life in the southern part of the country. It will give you a backdrop on the enormously challenging circumstances facing those who live in South Sudan and those who are in the process of rebuiling the country - both physically and spiritually.

what you can do

pray:

- for the Kuj family and their team, and the people they serve, for provision, protection, wisdom and strength.
