Bishop of Liwolo, Joseph Aba

On the 21st May Jospeh Aba was enthroned as the new Bishop of Liwolo, the journey of Joseph and his family to Juba was not an easy one. CRESS had sent funds for him and his wife to fly but there was a problem with the booking resulting in them both travelling by alternative transport.

Thank you so much for your prayer and financial support, we have arrived safely thought through difficulties. The booking of the flight failed and we are only informed that the flight will not come to pick us when we are heading to air field in Nimule. I treat as a challenge that needs to be overcome. I refused to tell my wife because she will get more discourage and more fearful of the next step i am going to take. I had to quickly hire taxi from Nimule to Juba. The convey have left but we have to go. My wife asked me who will go with us and give us protection. I told her why do you ask me such kind of question? You did not know that God is with us and we do not need for any human protection. If this is his calling he will take us safely, if not i am happy for for whatsoever happen. We took off and God was with us and we reach Juba safely. The process of retreat is going on normally. Thanks for your prayers. Joseph

The road from Nimule to Juba is very dangerous – armed gangs hold up vehicles robbing those within and frequently kill.   Joseph’s faith was very bold!

We have since received further correspondence from Joseph and the wonderful news of a blessing in the form of rain.

Thank you so much for your powerful prayer. It went on very well. After the consecration and reception God blessed us with rain. This is unusual. when we arrived Juba that very night it rain and closed to da with rain.  Juba was just dry and hot but this is truly a sign of Gods blessings.  Joseph
