Graduation

On Friday we attended the graduation of our friend Tony from JETS--Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary--where he received a bachelor's Degree in Theology. He is part of the Sudanese Church we attend here in Amman that is made up of students from JETS, people who came here to work and others who have fled Sudan because of persecution. We really enjoy being part of this community and find it encouraging to see how God is blessing many from our church. Many of the students plan to return to Sudan after their studies, and Tony will be leaving Jordan in two weeks to return to Khartoum where he wants to work with youth. Pray for our Sudanese brothers and sisters here in Jordan. Pray also for those who are working in Sudan, as the country is in the process of rebuilding and reconciling after two decades of war in the south, and a continuing war in the west. Below are some pictures of the graduation celebration.
