Ministry in Pajok, South Sudan

The Lord gave us 2 1/2 months to minister in Pajok, South Sudan. It was a rich time of ministry and learning. Working within another culture, in an area that speaks another language can be challenging. But the Lord gave us the ability to minister His word and to live among the Acholi people of Pajok.

We were involved in many ministries while there:
* Morning Bible study with the children at the orphanage home Monday thru Saturday
* Evening Bible study (Creation to Christ - New Tribes Missions Curriculum) with the GTM children and village children M,T,Th,F
* Weekly evangelism to homes surrounding the GTM compound
* Movie night on Wednesdays and Saturdays
* Tuesday adult bible study
* Bible study with the GTM teachers M-F
* Reading club with Deborah Saturday morning
* Established a Sunday morning church service in the GTM church building

Sunday was kept as a day of rest! With the exception of Church in the morning, we rested the rest of the day....and it was needed. We attended the AIC church each week which was a 45 minute walk away. The last Sunday we were in Pajok, we held the first GTM church service! It was mostly youth and children with a few adult women, numbering approximately 60 people total. Now each week the GTM church worships and teaches verse by verse through the Word of God. Praise the Lord!

Below are some pictures of the 'one on one' evangelistic outreach:
Atim surrendered her life to Jesus and faithfully attends all the Bible studies and the movie nights each week!

 This is Bosco Okot's family and friends. They listened to the Gospel message but wanted to hear more later... Please pray for God to draw these people to Himself.

From left to right: Sunday, Sabina, Jane, & Jane. I don't know the name of the teen on the far right. All the ladies received Jesus Christ! Jane and Jane attend the Bible studies.

This is Sampson's family. Pray for Sampson. He is a very outgoing talkative man, however, he still needs to receive Jesus.

I will post more pictures and some videos in the coming days.....

Merry Christmas!!!
