December 16th, Bishop Wolf and her husband, Tom Bair, departed for the Diocese of Ezo in the Sudan. They flew to Amsterdam and then directly on to Entebbe, Uganda where they will spend two nights. On December 19th, they will enter into the Sudan through Juba, and then on to Yambio in Southern Sudan on December 20th. Flights in and out of Juba/Yambio only happen twice a week, so there is a great deal of faith that the steps along the way will allow this to go as scheduled. From there they have a days ride by vehicle to reach the Bishop of the Diocese of Ezo, the Rt. Rev. John Zawo and his wife Nancy. There they will stay as guests of Bishop John. They have flights to return from Juba to Entebbe on December 28th. They will arrive back in Providence on December 29th.
Please keep Bishop wolf and Tom and Bishop John and his community in your prayers during this time.
Thank you to all who provided pictures of life at your parishes, they were wonderful with a wide assortment of people, events and buildings. They have been placed in a small photo album and will be a gift to Bishop John and Nancy. I am attaching a photo of Bishop John Zawo and his wife, Nancy.
A time and place has been set for a Sudan Debriefing that will be led by Bishop Wolf and Tom upon their return:
Sunday, January 18, 2009, 4:00pm

All are welcome to come and hear about their trip. A reminder of this event will be sent again after January 5th.
