Flipping the Narrative

Last week, I was blessed by a visit at our Five Talents office from Archbishop Abraham Yel Nhial. We discussed various ministry projects and areas of collaboration in South Sudan where Five Talents partners with the church in microenterprise development. It was both an inspiring and sobering discussion.

His words cause me to reflect on this Lenten season in preparation of Easter. The Gospels tell us that women were the last to stay at the cross in Christ’s deepest anguish and the first to arrive at the tomb, bearing witness to His resurrection. In these most fragile moments, when hope seemed lost women showed up.
