Setting
Up Dinner Sudanese Style
We can learn
a great deal from the concern and respect shown to one's
guests throughout Africa, especially in the Sudan. Even
though poverty, due to five decades of war, has altered
the opportunities and circumstances of nearly all throughout
Sudan , generosity and hospitality abounds in the hearts
of Sudanese Believers. Just as 2 Corinthians says,
“And
now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace
that God has given the (Sudanese) churches. Out of
the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their
extreme generosity welled up in rich generosity. For
I testify that they gave as much as they were able,
and even beyond their ability…”
(2 Corinthians 8: 1-7)
There is no ‘typical'
in Sudan because of the displacement and the lack of
resources. However, the handout linked below outlines
what has been enjoyed in some parts of Sudan around
the dinner table and can be a fun model for you as you
prepare to host your Child Sponsorship Dinner!
