Deaf/hearing YWAM Team Support

 f        Lucy, above left,  educated to only P7 demonstrated such a wonderful gift to teach. I pray that by God’s grace she will be able to continue her education and make it. 
         Our deaf team-members, above right, collecting clothes to clothe the four naked deaf children that Philliam had come across. This was a wonderful blessing commented upon by members in the three local churches we attended the following Sunday. We are supporting one deaf six year old girl, Janet, from Labone to enrol at Glory Special Needs School in Kitgum next February.
         Should C/DTS outreaches return to Labone? The answer is yes. The Jesuits have been a great help in setting up the schools and numerous other programmes but they left Labone whilst we were there and the local community is struggling in the aftermath of war. Since the new country Southern Sudan has come into  being the people in remote Labone have seen few benefits. They still need to be discipled and encouraged. Students on outreach there can see positive results from their efforts in a relatively short space of time. I think this really helps them to be inspired and grow in faith. Helen
