To Him who is able to do immeasureably more than we ask or imagine..." Ephesians 3:20

Thank you to all of you who prayed for the Flame team in Nzara, South Sudan. The team stand in awe of the Lord who brought healing spiritually, emotionally and physically to hundreds of people of the area. We arrived to be told by the Bishop that the people of Nzara had lost hope due to the lack of action by the Sudanese Government and the constant killings by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). When we left, there was very definitely hope and a desire to press on towards the goal which is heavenwards!

Spiritually Alive & Working in Unity

A Portrait of Southern Sudan

I met Betty Jokodi, aged about 7 or 8, in the Lokurabang camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) on the outskirts of the Southern Sudanese town of Lainya, in May 2009. Her grandfather pastors a church in the midst of the camp and I had been invited to join their Sunday service. I sat with the children on pews made from logs propped up on branches under the shade of small mango trees. I was visiting the area with a team of volunteers on a short-term project with Flame International, a UK based charity that works in many war-torn countries.

From the Jaws of Hell

It was hard to imagine what James had been through since being snatched from his family by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). How could a 12 year old boy recover from the trauma of being forced to execute two other children for trying to escape? How do you live with the memory of beating their heads with clubs while they lay facedown with hands tied behind their backs? How could he then have found the courage to try to escape, knowing the cost of being caught? But escape he did and although I heard his words I found it difficult to conceive the terrifying reality of it.
