A new DTS location in South Sudan!

January 31, 2012

Here is a recent update from James Wio in Wau, South Sudan...

"Recruitment for the DTS students is already completed. They are 13 in number and we need your prayer for the coming DTS in March 2012. Pray for beds and mattresses and also for DTS books and a vehicle for outreach. Concerning the bore hole, they said they will continue work on February 15th. I can't wait here because I'm taking my children back to boarding school in Uganda. I will come back earlier on February 5th and be with my family here in Wau."

Thank God for James (Sudanese) and his family who are taking a big step of faith to start YWAM in Wau, South Sudan. They now have a small piece of property in town and large piece of property outside of town to eventually development into a training center. A bore hole (well) has been put on the land to offer clean water to YWAM and the community in the surrounding area.

Pray also for Josephine (Ugandan) who helped pioneer the YWAM base in Yei, South Sudan and is co-leading the new work with James. She is trying to find a young lady to stay with her elderly mother in Uganda so she can help James with the ministry and the DTS.

Starting anything new is a challenge. Starting a YWAM base in a remote part the newest nation on earth emerging from nearly fifty years of conflict is a HUGE challenge! When the first DTS started in northern Sudan, the leaders didn't even have enough money to copy the applications, but God provided and they had over 40 students. Lets pray that God would bring amazing provision to the first DTS in Wau and to the staff who are pioneering the work.

While the children do pay school fees, it is not enough to cover the costs of all the teachers and the porridge they are fed each day. The school needs about $7500 a year to cover all the costs. That is only $30...

Studying the Word of God in Arabic

January 17, 2012
 
The first-ever School of Biblical Studies (SBS) in Sudan (north) started earlier this month. This 3-month course is an intensive introduction in inductive bible study. Not only will the students be studying the bible, but they will be learning HOW to study the bible. Instead of coming to the Word of God with preconceived ideas, inductive bible study attempts to dig deep into the Word of God and let the text shape our ideas. This is especially important in Sudan, where the church continues to...
