75 dollars and a chicken

Recently one of our partners in Sudan met Maqueng Deng Mayang, a man crippled with blindness and polio. Upon hearing of his need for a donkey, which only cost $75.00, our friend provided Maqueng with $100.00, along with some food and medicine. Maqueng went on to spend the rest of his money on a chicken. But the chicken was not for himself, but to present to the man who had given him the gift. He rode his new donkey a size hours into town to meet our partner and give him the chicken!

What an amazing expression of thankfulness!

Our ability to meet the needs of our Sudanese brothers and sisters allows them the opportunity to experience that same desire we have; to give sacrificially out of our own gratitude for what we've been given. Isn't it awesome to be a part of this process? Read more about our Sudan Regrowth project updates here.
