By faith, we see:
• The church in South Sudan committing to sending more mission workers
• Christian refugees returning to their homes and taking the gospel with them
• The myriad of unreached people groups of Sudan coming to a saving faith in Jesus Christ

Communities where Christ is least known

Refugee community

The county of Mabaan in South Sudan hosts 18 different tribes, who are all originally from Sudan.
Many of these tribes do not have any Christian witness around their home area. The refugees are being exposed to Christ and his Word in the refugee camps. Communities of faith are popping up in different places within the refugee camp.

Beyond borders

A Sudanese refugee who was in the camps in South Sudan was called by God to serve among his people in a refugee area in Ethiopia. In response, his host community in Mabaan, South Sudan, has now sent out their first two missionaries. This is a testimony that the church is looking beyond its borders and sending out workers into the Lord’s harvest field.
