Hi Friends and Family,

We are planning on traveling to South Sudan for 3 months (Sept to Nov) this year to serve with the Cush4Christ team, under RP Global Missions and RPCA. 

We are so excited to have this opportunity to serve and use our gifts, in teaching in the school (currently at 160 students up to age 22), in building and maintenance projects, in training, ministry and care.

We want to encourage the people already working there, as well as be an encouragement and help to the people who live there, in the world’s newest nation!

Most of all, we value your prayers. If you are a praying person, please pray that God would use us, teach us things and keep us safe.

Please pray for the people of South Sudan, many of whom still await access to water, medical needs and literacy.

As well as praying, if you can help us financially, we’d appreciate that too. We have been granted leave from our jobs, but travel is expensive (passports, visas, vaccinations, flights, etc), and there are 4 of us! We would also love to be able to be generous while we’re there, rather than be a burden on those we’re visiting. 

If you’d like to hear about our journey, send me your email and I can send you updates as we go OR join our facebook page -  https://www.facebook.com/Blakstons-in-South-Sudan-105133102215323/

And, we’d also love to hear from you while we’re away.

Thank you so very much.

Jonathan, Louise, Rose (16yo) and Jonah (9yo)
