My name is Whitney, for those of you who don't know me. I am near the beginning of my journey. That is, it hasn't been all that long since I felt a distinct call from God to travel to Sudan, working in the south as part of a holistic community development team. Well, that was over a year ago, but getting there takes some time and preparation. I am working as a part of the World Gospel Mission organization, which is support based. I have been learning a lot over the past year, and not just more about the situation in Sudan, but a lot about myself and about my call. Life there will be very different, very challenging, but also very fertile for growth. I am excited to meet the people who call South Sudan their home.
My hope for this journey is that God will reveal himself in new ways to the people of South Sudan. That in him they will find their source of life in such a difficult place, and that they will come to know the goodness of his grace. My prayer is that the Mango Ministries team will be well equipped to come alongside these communities so that together genuine transformation that will radically change lives may take place. And in all of this, I pray that God will continue to transform my own being into the person he has created me to be.
peace,
Whitney
