Sometimes life can seem full of roadblocks and obstacles. We just think we’ve settled into a routine and some surprise comes along and shakes things up. Sometimes these bumps in the road simply cause nuisance and annoyance, but sometimes they really change the course of our lives.

When you don’t know what’s around the corner, it’s helpful to know who’s walking with you. Even as an anchor is important to keep a ship in one place during a storm, knowing that we can anchor our lives in Jesus helps us to maintain our course when the storms of life arise.

Upon life’s boundless ocean, where mighty billows roll,
I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus, blest Anchor of my soul.
When trials fierce assail me, as storms are gath’ring o’er,
I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.

Hundreds of thousands of Sudanese people have been displaced from their homeland because of the atrocities of the Sudanese civil war. Adults have been tortured or killed, children have been sold into slavery, and villages have been wiped out, leaving orphans to trek across the deserts of Southern Sudan to the relative safety of refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia.

Unfortunately, the neighboring countries do not have the resources needed to deal with these ‘Lost Boys’ of Sudan, and thousands are living in conditions of extreme poverty and starvation

It is our goal to use our talents and resources to make a difference in the lives of these refugees. This is why several businesses, churches, and Christian ministries have banded together to create Those Who Dream: The Sudan Project.
