We had two different Fusion young men with us this past week. These two men surveyed the northeastern part of South Sudan. They finished their work and were able to come and visit us in Rumbek; so we put them to work. Here they are helping Jerry replace the solar batteries. A lot of young muscle power and energy so we put it to work. As well as helping replace the batteries; which by the way was a complete success, (we can now run the refrigerator all night if we need to,) they also helped with some plumbing issues by digging up some of the pipes and helping clean out some areas. They were able to experience some of the mundane tasks that are always present when you have to keep up a residence in Africa and we took advantage of their youthful exuberance! 
This was the second time in Rumbek for one. He had been here two years ago with another Fusion team, so there were many friends to visit in the market and around town.
The final night in Rumbek saw all four of the Fusion men sitting together around our table, sharing the things they had learnt during their research trips, eating homemade frozen yogurt, and enjoying good fellowship.
The next day found us all on the road again -- to Juba. We arrived in time to spend the afternoon with some of our Baptist Convention friends discussing the health of the church and the movement of evangelization, discipleship and leadership development in the various states of South Sudan where these young men ventured. The information was good and the fellowship was sweet. Afterwards we joined in prayer for God's wisdom and direction as Baptists share the Gospel around the country. These convention leaders were pleased with all the information that was shared; these young men went places and saw things that the leadership could not because of financial and time constraints.
Continue to pray for the Fusion team as their adventure continues. They left Juba at 5:30 a.m. heading for Uganda where they will spend the rest of the week. The first week of April will find them travelling into the Democratic Republic of Congo on the same mission, finding out the health of the church and the state of evangelism and discipleship among the various people groups in eastern DRC.
