Good Sudan Stuff

Below are some photos from Blackmore Vale Deanery's synod meeting, where they decided to have a tri-link with Lui and Missouri.

After I left England, I went to DC for the AFRECS (American Friends of the Episcopal Church of Sudan: http://www.afrecs.org/) board meeting. We spent Thursday morning (9/10/09) on advocacy so we could go to Capitol Hill to ask our government representatives to put the power of the US government behind enforcement of the CPA, particularly in election monitoring. I went to talk to Josh Kremer, one of Senator Bond's staffers. He was a great listener and asked good questions -- the whole experience was a vindication of everything I've always believed about democracy. Now I just hope it does some good for the cause of Sudan.

We are off and running with the November mission. I have emailed the Missionary Aviation Fellowship to work out flight and lodging details... Here begins the next intensive round of blogging as we prepare for this journey of 11 people (9 from Missouri and 2 from England) to Lui.
