Our Abukloi trip was a wonderful experience. I, Bev, spent most of my time working with the students on how to implement the new peace agreement. The students are excited about being change agents in their communities. Their slogan is "forgive and forget". They see themselves as being good Samaritans and stepping out to love their neighbors as they love themselves. They want to be true Christ followers.
We made prayer beads to carry reminding each of us to pray for the two warring tribes (Dinka and Neur) of which our students are Dinka. We had a great debate between the Dinka's and the Neur's which really laid out the disagreements. They are great actors and enjoyed representing both sides.
Students all prayed that peace will begin with each of them as they begin the road to compromise. There country can pull out of poverty and begin using their wealth. Of resources as they begin to love one another and look out for one another there scripture is We can do all things through Christ who gives its strength.
