OUR MISSION
Our mission is to rebuild the lives of the afflicted living in South Sudan and of those refugees who have migrated to Australia. As a Christian ministry our aim is to share God's love and bring a message of hope as we fight poverty and corruption in one of the poorest countries of the world.
Significant work is needed to bring about change in this country and we believe God is using us as one of his vessels to bring some much needed restoration. Our main emphasis in South Sudan is to provide Christian Leadership Development through regular conferences, seminars and workshops. Since 2009 we have run programmes in Juba, the capital city in South Sudan, Lainya County in rural South Sudan and in Kampala, Uganda when it was too dangerous to travel to South Sudan in early 2014. We have a small dedicated team of men and women headed up by Ps Henry Logoro, our National Director in South Sudan. When possible Pastors James and Pam travel from Australia to help. We have been granted land and are awaiting finances to build a centre in Lainya and we also plan to expand our orphan and widow support programme as finances allow.
Through work in Sudan and in Australia we've already seen lives changed and many people turn to Christ. Our hope is for this work to continue, however we rely on your generosity to make this happen. If you would like make a financial contribution please go to our donations page for more information. If you would like to donate your time, expertise or resources please contact us for more information.
