Harvesters Oasis

There are so many reasons why I love this place, but the primary reason is that it's such a true and beautiful representation of what Jesus did while he was on earth.  He was a carpenter, a teacher, a preacher, and a healer who sought out and loved the outcasts of society.  Some 2000 years later, in the countryside of Sudan, his example lives on.

Every morning people from the village wait to see nurse Brenda at the Harvesters clinic.

The incomplete house for Dr. Perry, who will oversee the new maternity and children's clinic at Harvesters.

Lawrence, the agriculture engineer, tends to the garden with some local workers.

If only we had some mozzarella, balsamic, and basil to go with these tomatoes. 

Fresh cucumbers and okra. 

The pineapple garden, with Harvesters church in the background.

A new mahogany dresser in the workshop. 

Some of the 500 students who attend Harvesters school.

Dinner time for 150 orphans: rice, beans and fresh watermelon.
