Our Ministry in Yei, Sudan

We’ll continue to report with joy, the Kingdom’s thrust in Yei, South Sudan. Jesus will get what He paid for. This is our ultimate motivation here.
 
As we labor among the youth, we can confidently say that God has taken hold of some of the secondary schools and the young people in this nation.
 
I’m awed at the responses from these young ones.  The growth of student Christian fellowships is steady and stronger from week to week. 

Our focus is the unreached and least peoples from the middle belt to the north of Sudan. We cannot venture into these areas without the active participation of the youths, especially those who can read and write, most of whom are in various schools now.     

Our local church; New Generation Tabernacle Church has approximately 110 regular members, 70% of whom are youths between the ages of 12-28.  We recently formed groups to engage the spiritual gifts and talent of our members. The effect of this has be phenomenal. The nursery and primary school run by the ministry has over 520 nursery and primary school children today.

Our vision for Sudan is largely youth based at the moment.

We are convinced that the future of the Sudan demands largely on what we do with the youth of today. We are therefore seriously looking to change the stories out of Sudan, from that of wars, genocide, hunger and starvation to news of the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit, by discipling children and the youth of this land.

We long to make Jesus famous and followed here. We see that the youth a great resource but are grossly unengaged, poorly educated, poorly motivated towards the good and thus darkness rules in most places.

For light to dawn, knowledge, truth and grace has to take over. We are custodians of these great virtues and will deploy then in this land for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. 

Raising a large squad of gospel bearers for the Northern harvest in the Sudan, in in the destiny of this ministry. We hope to send and support these, with their families to plant churches amongst their peoples.

We need people with a passion for the youth. We are looking for models that can inspire these young people to dream, to desire the divine and then be driven towards fulfilling their individual destines. 

The challenge of orphans is great in Sudan. It’s no news why this is so. We have chosen to confront this need. We had adopted 32 orphans, ages 4-13 in May 2008 and on the 5th of July 2009, we welcomed another 38 kids. 

We need the following:

•    Children Teachers,
•    Overseas sponsorship for each adopted child. Thanks to Pastor Bill Mickler of Victory Christian Center Lafayette USA and his church for their great support. Kudos to the leadership of LeSea Feed the hungry USA too for their kindness) We need more helpers. The vision is bigger than one ministry or church.
•    Clothes for the kids,
•    Teaching aids,
•    Funds to build and furnish their dorms and classrooms.
•    Children books and Bibles, toys, games…whatever other kids delight in, these ones will surely enjoy too.

We have electricity, powered from a generating plant for the entire town from 7am till 12midnight daily. We also have internet access as long as there’s power and good weather. It’s relatively safe in Yei. It’s still pretty rural here but happily, the guns and soldiers are off the streets in most parts of South Sudan and we continue to pray for the Comprehensive Peace Agreement to hold so that the prosperity of the peoples of Sudan will cease to be a mere dream.

I'm inspired by God’s passion for His name in every generation, which provokes global worship through Jesus Christ. Becoming an emotionally healthy and transformative disciple, I aim to mobilize the Church to engage in cross-cultural missions and raise other like-minded disciples who discover themselves in Christ and seek to present and represent Him as Savior and Lord among the nations northward of Uganda.
