Mundri

Yesterday I flew once to Mundri in Western Equatoria to collect 7 people who have been involved in reconciliation work there this week. Mundri is one of the places which has been badly hit recently by insecurity and fighting and where many civilians have been forced to flee their homes to live in the bush for their own safety.

We had made several trips to Mundri during the week to take some bishops and other pastors there for meetings aimed at restoring the peace, and yesterday I was booked for a double rotation to collect the group and return them to Juba. Plans changed at the last minute, however, and we were asked to only collect a small group as the bishops would remain over the weekend to finish the work.

I asked one of my passengers if the visit was a success and his answer was a very positive 'yes' and he explained that some people had already started returning to their homes. Let's praise the God of Peace and pray for His servants who continue to work for peace and reconciliation in this troubled country.
