We Are Moving to South Sudan!


We are excited to announce that we will be traveling to Melut, South Sudan next year with an agency called SIM (Serving In Mission).  Our anticipated date of departure is January 2013.


We will be joining the SIM team in the town of Melut, South Sudan.  Melut is home to the Gideon Theological College, where students are trained and educated. SIM is partnering with the local community to improve the facilities and impact of the college.


David will be investing in the community as he works with local crews on the construction and project management needed to improve the facilities. It will be hard work but we are excited to be a small part of rebuilding the newest country in the world!
I, Karen, will try and update this blog as frequently as I am able to. The last time I blogged was during my time in Niger in 2006.

I am not much of a writer but my desire for this blog is to share our thoughts prior to departure and to highlight aspects of our time in Melut, South Sudan.
