Sudan

Last night, Pastor Tut Kon spoke of the work being done in Sudan.  Working with the Indigenous Church, Greater Reach Inc has provided help to train House Church leaders in Darfur and distributed Bibles.   Schools have been started and work has been done to start local Christian radio and to get the truth out through "orality" - word-of-mouth methods (for illiteracy is an issue, with the wars, devastation, and poverty).  

Particularly in South Sudan, where a new country has been formed on July 9, 2011 separate from Islamic North Sudan; the church has been asked by the government to assist in the process of Nation Building.   What an opportunity!  It was encouraging to hear of how God is at work already; and may He continue to bless the ministries through the partnership of our church and the local church there.

Pastor Tut Kon made a statement that when he suffered persecution, that's when he knew that he was called to serve there.   Amazing!
