Faithful to God's Gifting & Calling

In November 2014 Pastor King George and Francis joined God's Tender Mercy. Pastor King George oversees the GTM nursery/primary school and Francis oversees GTM's animals.

Two others who joined GTM are Juspin who is a new helper for Grace and Deborah from Uganda who is a new GTM teacher. Juspin joined us last year and was one of the ladies cooking porridge for the GTM school children. Deborah joined us in January 2015.

Pastor King George is seminary trained, which is rare in South Sudan. Francis is trained in animal husbandry and veterinarian practices. Both men are an answer to prayer! God indeed provides for the needs of His people.

Pastor King George teaches the children attending the GTM school (currently 120-130 children) the scriptures. He teaches them each weekday at 10:00 am while the children are eating their porridge.

David (standing on the left side wearing white pants) has been discipling Francis since November 2014. Recently, Francis shared his faith for the first time! The Lord worked through His word shared and Francis' obedience to testify of Jesus. The man forsook his drinking and is currently attending church!

David is teaching the children in the orphanage each day and the GTM teachers each morning through the Bible.

Jesus said to go and make disciples. The full council of God's word teaches us everything we need to know about who God is, who we are, and what our relationship should be with God and the people around us.

I praise God that we have men dedicated to proclaiming and teaching the truth of God's word!

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

(Romans 10:17 NKJV)

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
(Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV)

Juspin has been faithfully helping Grace full-time with cooking, cleaning, the children, and anything else needed. As king Solomon said: "Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, But who can find a faithful man?" (Proverbs 20:6 NKJV) The same goes for women! It can be difficult to find a person faithful and dedicated. Praise the Lord He sent us Juspin!

Deborah has proved to be a wonderful teacher! She was grieved that most of the children cannot read. All children are behind the curve in South Sudan. Deborah decided on her own to have class on Saturdays for a couple hours to teach any child who comes to read!!! She lives in our compound and has taken to all of our children as well. She engages well with the children and likes to lead them in singing to the Jesus. Once again, praise the Lord for His provision!

Please praise God with us and continue to pray with us for the Lord's will to be done!
