Well, after a handful of meetings, it looks like I am taking the final few steps before I take off on an adventure into the world's newest country, South Sudan.
I am going to be moving to the Mundri county of West Equatoria in South Sudan in late Septermber/early October, to begin working with Afro-Canadian Evangelical Mission (ACEM). While there I am going to be doing a variety of things. It is big on my heart to serve the people of South Sudan in anyway I can possibly think of. My work with the organization will involve taking various steps toward improving access to education in the area. Beyond that I will be teaching at a local school. Outside of these education and service goals I am going to be living in the area and getting involved with some local churches in whatever way necessary, with a hope of doing youth ministry.
In order to help me get ready to go, the most important thing I need is prayer; however, there is also the financial reality of living and volunteering on the other side of the world. As such I would love for you guys to partner with me both in prayer and financially either by sponsoring my personal expenses of living in South Sudan, or becoming a donor to one of the projects that I will be undertaking.
If you so desire to help out financially here is how. Write a cheque out to Padang Lutheran Christian Relief (http://www.plcr.org/) and put ACEM in the memo line (for personal support put in ACEM - Thomas Gaster).
Thank you everyone for your prayers and I love you all and I know I cannot begin this journey without your support. You guys rock and I look forward to hearing and seeing you before I go.
To contact me email t_gaster@hotmail.com or call 604-866-2462.
Much Love,
Thomas
