"For
I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you
gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in."
Matthew 25:35

One of the major challenges currently facing the people of Boma and all of South Sudan is the shortage of food.
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has been unable to
deliver food to the community of Boma since the rebellion last May. They
require an NGO partner on the ground to distribute the food in an
organized manner and until our arrival last month, there had been no
functioning NGO's in Boma for nearly a year.
With a WFP partnership as his goal, Henry Okumu is developing plans
this week to return to Boma where he will secure cooperation from the
local authorities in the distribution of food. Henry has been in contact
with WFP and they require SEA Partners to have a signed joint agreement
with the local officials in Boma as a first step in their continuation
of activity there. Once his business in Boma is complete, Henry will fly
to Juba, the capital of South Sudan, to meet with WFP officials and
arrange food drops to Boma.
Please pray for God's favor on Henry this week as he travels to Boma and Juba.

The story last week of Bahkita (age 13), Judisa (age 13), Halima (age 9)
and Kaka (age 10) resonated with several donors this week. We thank God
that we received almost four months of support for these young ladies.
It is a blessing to see God's people step up to help those in need.

effect on the lives of people in Africa and I am grateful for your
