Tomorrow I get on a plane to leave for Sudan! My departure is 23 hours away! You have all blessed me very much the past few weeks as I have prepared to leave, and I leave with my hopes set high on the Lord.
My plane leaves Saturday morning, and I will reach Nairobi, Kenya on Sunday at midnight (2:00pm CA time). I spend the night there at a missions compound and leave the next morning by plane for Sudan. When I arrive in Tonj, Sudan on Monday the 21st I will remain there for two months until I return home around August 15.
The best way to stay connected with me is to follow my blog at http://djcrawford.blogspot.com/. You may also email me at dcarmor@gmail.com. I should have decent access to the internet while in Sudan.
Six other young people are flying out at the same time as me: my good friends Missy Nickerson and Tyler Paulson, two second-year medical school students from Ohio and New York (who are actually twins), a woman attending nursing school in New Mexico, and another woman who is committing two years in Sudan to serve as a midwife. We will all meet in Kenya at the missionary house before flying into Sudan.
I have much peace about going, and it is very exciting to see this trip come together after almost 2 years of praying and waiting. I will be taking many pictures/video while there, and would like to host a coming-home party at my house in San Diego to share about my trip (I will likely do this again in San Luis Obispo in the fall).
I cannot wait to update you from the bush!
Blessings,
Daniel Crawford

P.S. There is a wonderful 20-minute documentary made by a Kenyan company covering Sabet and Suzy’s ministry in Sudan. You can view it below.
