TRISHA WICK'S NEWS FOR NOVEMBER 2009

RAHAMA
Pray for Wilson's (my Driver) daughter Rahama, who was attacked with a hammer on her way to school in Yambio and has a serious head injury. Hospital cannot x ray etc.

ELECTIONS
The month of November is the time for all Sudanese over the age of 18 to get their names put on the Electoral Register in preparation for the Elections in April 2010. There is an increase in insecurity in many areas as tension mounts.

TESSA
My dog Tessa, is very pregnant and due to give birth in late November.

CANON'S INSTALLATION
On November 8th I will be installed in my Canon's Chair in All Saint's Cathedral in Maridi Diocese.

YOUTH CONFERENCE
The Diocesan Youth Conference is from November 16th - 20th. Youth from all over the Diocese will come. Pray for Wilson in his work as Diocesan Youth and Sunday School Coordinator.

DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING
In my new role I have started to visit all 8 Archdeaconries to do teaching on Discipleship. We have now finished writing and translating 'Following Jesus' Book 2 and will soon start Book 3.

LORD'S RESISTANCE ARMY
The LRA Ugandan Rebel Group which has been terrorizing Western Equatoria for a couple of years, are now moving North towards Darfur and Chad. Some smaller groups are still around our area. Pray for a solution.

MA STUDIES
I am now working on my second assignment which is preparing a proposal for my Dissertation for my third year. The topic will be looking at 'Is a lack of Discipleship Training the main reason why we do not retain some of our Youth in Maridi Diocese?' Does anyone have any expertise in any aspects of this?

DRY SEASON
It seems the rains have finished and we are now entering the dry season. Christmas is usually the hottest time of the year. Our local harvest is good this year and we are enjoying many fruits too.

COMPOUND REPAIRS
This is now the time of year to make repairs to buildings etc. as plenty of grass is available for the roofs. We also need to repaint the house.

CHAIMA COLLEGE
Bishop Justin is upgrading our Theological College to include extra courses such as computer, accounting, management, project planning, administration. When our young people finish at our Secondary School they will then be given the opportunity to go onto further studies such as these.

WILSON TO VISIT UK?
If God opens the way my Colleague Wilson may visit UK with me next year for about three months. Bishop Justin is very supportive of this. The problem will be getting the Visa - only God can provide, so much prayer needed.

PARENTS
They are such a wonderful support! Continue to pray for their health.

I am fit and well and very happy here.

Love to you all,
Trisha
