Yesterday the executive director of Aid Sudan, Peter Swann, came to talk to our Sunday school class about an amazing opportunity. I do not know Peter personally, but I can tell you based on his reputation in our church that he is the real deal. A couple of our class members are on the board of directors of this ministry and one of my dear friends is on their staff. Anyway, this is so cool! They are having an October campaign to put solar powered, hand-held radios in the hands of men and women in southern Sudan. These radios can only tune in to one station, and what they hear on this one station is local pastors proclaiming the word of God in their own language. How awesome is that? (They will also hear health and hygiene info, local and international news, and community development info.) Groups of 10-15 people will gather around these radios and listen. And the radios last for 12 years! Peter used to live in Sudan and he said there is no ambient noise there. So when people hear the radio, they are drawn to it. The maker of these radios is subsidizing the cost for Aid Sudan and they are only $20. Twenty dollars to share the Gospel with people in southern Sudan! How could I not share this with you? Check out these videos and if you are as moved as I am, buy a radio and pass on the news!

Besides a baby, what pregnant women get in return for surrendering their waistlines is nine months of thick, glorious hair. It’s a beautiful thing. However, when Baby is just a few months old (about the time Mommy is seeing hints of her returning waistline) it all falls out. Soon her face is framed by the re-growth—lovely inch-long hairs called baby bangs. This blog is named for that charming little phenomenon.

Thank you for posting this! What an AWESOME IDEA! OH MY! I LOVE IT!!!
We took a few of the "Lost Boys" under our wing in North Carolina. Oh what a story. Heartbreaking. But we have seen their growth and how their faith sustained them. We love anything and everything organizations are doing to help our brothers and sisters in Sudan. Thank you so much for sharing this opportunity.
THANK YOU for posting on this. I love that this is Gospel oriented. One more radio was just secured!
I heard about this ministry in MOPS and I love it too. That is why I was so excited to run the 5K fun run this spring- it supported the Sudanese ministry. I think it is awesome too!
What a great ministry opportunity. My heart has been so heavy for Sudan for many years; yet, tonight's segment of Nightly News with Brian Williams really got me. With the split between the north and south, many Americans are going to the aid of southern Sudanese people who are in real danger of another brutal civil war.
Thank you again for sharing about this opportunity.
