Good Stuff in TEC: Nebraska/Sudan

From Episcopal Life Online. (Got to love the hat!)

The call took Deacon Robin McNutt on four plane rides and a two-hour walk this time. It took her to a village of war-ravaged Dinka tribal people in Maar, South Sudan, away from the amenities and luxuries of Western life. This call came in the form of one Sudanese refugee.

"The way God calls you is … anytime," said the Rev. Daniel Deng Kuot. He met McNutt in 2002 at the Church of the Resurrection in Omaha, Nebraska, several thousand miles from his home in Lith Payam, Sudan. McNutt worked with Kuot as program administrator for the outreach program in the Omaha Sudanese community, and they became close friends.

"This time opened Robin to the outside world," he said. "She asked about my faith, and I explained stories of life back home and in the States. She felt she could go as far as Sudan to spread the word of God."
