A Toy Fast Print E-mail
Homeless Sudanese children have few toys. The things they play with are made from leftover objects that no one else wants; or that they find outdoors.

To Try: For one day, do not play with any toy or game bought originally from a store. Also do not use a computer or TV for entertainment. Pray for homeless Sudanese children.
 
Dinka Customs Print E-mail
The Dinka tribe is one of the main people groups in southern Sudan. Many Dinkas are Christian. Dinka people are known for being very tall. Cattle are important in Dinka culture. Traditionally, young Dinka men decorated their favorite bull and walked around with it. They hoped girls would admire them because of their bull.

Many Dinka villages were destroyed in attacks by Muslims from the North. Things have changed. The Dinka people can no longer follow all the customs that were important to them.

“Jesus loves me,” in the Dinka language is pronounced “YAY-choo ahn-YAHR-ehn.” Can you sing the song “Jesus Loves Me,” substituting the Dinka words for English words in part of the song?

Head Carry Relay Print E-mail
Divide into two teams with an equal number of players on each team. After a signal to start, the first players on each team carry a book on their head, in the same way Nigerian women carry things. The players carry the book as far as they can without touching it with their hands. At the point where the book falls off or the player touches it with their hand, player number 2 takes over and continues from that point. When both teams have used all their players, the team that has walked the farthest distance wins.
