As many of you know, Allison grew up in Tulsa. Her whole life she attended Tulsa’s downtown First United Methodist Church, a very conservative Methodist church compared to what I’m used to in Dallas. Her family history at the church extends back a few generations when her grandfather was supported by them when they were doing missions in Kobe, Japan, where her father grew up.

Their missions board has asked that we submit an application for support from their church. Just last week over Easter weekend we had the opportunity to meet with their missions pastor and find out more about their missions focus and purpose. We wil be turning in the application for support in the next week and would ask for your prayers in how they might be involved in God’s mission for our work in Sudan.
