The Final Team Member!

Our final team member has been selected. Jessi Matson will be joining our team to provide teacher training to the small school in Buagyi. Many of the children from Kalalayi walk the seven miles to school each day to attend. The teachers need help with everything from classroom management to working with special needs children. During the war, there were some chemicals that mothers and children were exposed to that have affected many of the children and their ability to learn and join in with the other students in the classroom. Jesse will address this need as well as other needs as she observes and assists the teachers. Jesse is an experienced teacher with cross-cultural environments in her ministry in Detroit and in her current role of directing the PowerHouse tutoring center. We are happy to have Jessi as a part of the team.

It is sad to say no to the other applicants that wanted to join this team but due to the size constraints, five is the maximum allowed from the US side of the team. We will be joined by a Sudanese man named Right Taban and his wife when we reach Juba. They will be the ones preparing the project for our arrival. Please pray for the team as we begin the work of preparing for the ministry experience in Kalalayi.
