At “Home” in Darfur

Patio at the UMCOR guest house in Darfur where we ate our meals

Some of you have asked me what our accommodations are like when we stay in Darfur. Humanitarian relief workers live in compounds that provide for two primary concerns: security and health. Amy Johnson, a member of Ginghamsburg’s Leadership Board, and Karen Smith, Ginghamsburg’s project director for The Sudan Project, made this short “home video” with the Flip camera to tour our compound in Darfur, where we lived for four days.

God bless…

WOW!!!! we really don't understand how challenging it is to do this ministry do we? It actually looks like luxury compared to the people in the camps you have visited. But I am especially glad your accommodations are intended to provided security too. I agree w/ Dan, show it to everyone. This helps put it all into perspective for us and makes it so much more personal.
