Across the world

We have some dear friends who are from, literally, across the world. South Sudan, to be exact. Over the past few months, Andrew and Bullen have become like family to Bryant, William and me...their lives and stories have been blessings to us.

Both of these guys are believers and have been in the States for only a couple of years. They came here to study and will return home to different occupations, but will use them to bring other Sudanese people to the Lord. They have survived wars, lived in jungles and have praised the Lord the whole way. Their joy is truly contagious...I have never seen anything like it, but I pray mine would be the same.

We read about Bullen in the book Radical, by David Platt. I remember Bryant telling me to listen as he read the part in the book about him. They were in Africa and he told Platt that he was going to reach the nations. God has used these guys in our church, on Troy's campus and throughout Alabama. Bullen and Andrew both want to be used for His glory...I can't wait to see what God is going to do through them!

They came to the house last week for a guy's night...I stayed long enough to snap some pics...
