A crucial part of YWAM Sudan's vision has always been to create opportunities for African Christians to be on the edge of what God is doing in Africa today. We praise God that He has done this over the last 12 years! Ugandans and Egyptians played central roles in starting the first two YWAM bases in Sudan. Since the start of those first two locations, Sudanese Christians along with other internationals have pioneered five more YWAM locations throughout Sudan and South Sudan. This year the YWAM base in Arua, Uganda is preparing to launch two more long-term teams into DR Congo and South Sudan.

The first team will be heading in the northeastern corner of DR Congo. This is an extremely remote region with few roads which has suffered through decades of war. The list of needs is long... discipleship, development, health-care, education, evangelism, trauma counseling, spiritual warfare, etc. YWAM Arua has been sending short-term outreaches into this area for a number of years and is now working towards setting up a YWAM base there. Please pray for guidance as they wrestle through issues like logistics, finances, safety and communications.

The second team will be heading to the town of Kajo Keji in South Sudan. This is an important town located in the newest country on earth. The team leader has been visiting Kajo Keji for years and has strong relationships in the local churches. Their vision is to be involved in children's ministry, discipleship programs, development initiatives and church planting.

Our prayer is that individuals, families, small groups and/or churches would be called by God to partner with these new teams in prayer, finances and visits. Would you consider adopting one of these teams or one of the families going?

Yolam and Dorothy from Uganda

Mario and Elda from South Sudan

Benjamin and Benedicta from DR Congo

Julius and Sarah from South Sudan

Felix and Elizabeth from Kenya

Five families from four different African nations called by God to serve and share the Gospel in some of the most remote places on earth. Pray for them.
