Security seems poor for Nimule, Sudan. It has deteriorated significantly in the past two weeks. But Labone, which is directly north of Kitgum, Uganda, is more secure.
We have decided to make the final decision on the trip on June 15. Ultimately, we have to hear from God. But we believe that one of the ways in which He speaks is through the situation on the ground.
I've never let security hinder me. The first time I went to Kitgum, about 1999, they had burned a bus on the road I traveled the previous day. I was there by choice during the ebola crisis in Gulu. We have driven through rebel territory several times, and once had a breakdown there. The last time I was in Kitgum, there was shooting right outside my room. Fear wants to get hold of you, but we have decided to do what we feel God has led us to do in spite of those fears.
We need prayer and we need wisdom.
