There are 100 Native Sudanese, ordained Evangelists with college degrees preaching in their hometowns. They take turns today coming to Malek to teach 40 to 60 new Students in their own language at ABC. There are now a total of 160 Evangelists, including students, serving Christ in growing churches in Sudan. Prayers requested!!

OPEN LETTER TO CHURCH ELDERS AND MINISTERS

I want you to be aware of one great opportunity for The Church in Africa. We are encouraged to hear from many of you and your concern for the Sudanese Orphan Children.
  There are hundreds of war orphans that live under trees and rob for an existence. They have no living Mom or Dad. It is common for a 9 year old big sister caring for two younger ones. Right: Here is an older sister trying to care for "her family".
  The haunting memories of their cold, skinny little hands tugging on my arm as they ask for food and help still grips my heart. Yes, many have died for the lack attention and funds.

• But, in 1990 the Evangelists going to Bible College to save souls was more important than children's lives.     Paul and Marilyn sold their house in Parkrose Heights to get the first dozen men through Bible College.
• But, in  2004 Yournew said "How can I persuade my people of the Love of Christ when they are dying in pain in my arms" So the hospital took priority to show God's Love and have save the lives of thousands.
• Sad Memories 22 years ago of seeing many little white bags of small children's bodies piled up like cordwood every morning at the Khartoum Hospital. They had been left on the streets to die. Too much time to cry to myself. So now is the time for an Orphan's Home.
• But Enough is too much! Enough children have died.
• 140 PREACHERS ARE THROUGH BIBLE COLLEGE,
• THE MALEK HOSPITAL IS BUILT & OPERATING.
• WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN 360 ACRES OF PRIME FARM LAND that has been reserved for an Orphans Farm by the area Village Chieftains. IF we cannot establish a home they will turn it over to someone else.
• YOURNEW IS ASKING FOR $220,000.00 THIS YEAR. $5,000.00 IS IN THAT FUND NOW.
• GOD HAS GIVEN US THE GREEN LIGHT.

Brothers: What is there we can cut out of our Church budgets and our personal budgets to get the Sudan Orphan's Home into existence?
 Yournew writes "Concerning the Children project, the plan is in place, we are just waiting for the USA Churches to give us go ahead. It will be the best project in our mission, if we can started as soon as possible. The Children's Farm can produce enough food for the Children's farm and the Hospital when it is up and operating. The land is there, I do not have a picture for it but I can send it as soon as I return back to Malek. With this project we are going to deal with the Orphans only. The most of them are not school. We are ready supporting all of the Children in our mission compound we can with the best we can do for them.

Thank you and God Bless You, ...Signed Yournew Wol"

There are several major factors we face regarding the Children Ranch.  We are not complaining, we are blessed! ...But!!

• We have $30,000.00 per month expense for Evangelists, Doctors Medical assistants, compound workers pay.
• We have hospital upkeep and equipment to be bought.
• We have relief supplies for Children that we need to keep up with.
• We have 40 Bible College Students this year to feed, house and teach on the Compound.
• The above totals $60-70 thousand a month which is hard to keep up with.

Yournew originally asked SAM for $220,000.00 budget for the next two years. That included two farm tractors.

• A $40,000.00 permanent stone fence is needed. We could start with a $14,000.00 bamboo fence that rots away in 3-4 years and animals can break through.
• They can start with plows pulled by a couple $2000.00 oxen instead of a $50,0000.00 tractor. The ground has grown up with large trees during the last 20 years of war. It is hard to remove one foot stumps with an ox.
• Traditional mud huts can be a start. We’d have a center mud hut and 4 small "sleeper huts" around the center one. That would be better than their previous "street living" But, to show them family style with central meals and Mom and Dad surroundings in a safe, durable concrete block 3 bedroom house is a dream.
• Can we dream of a ball field on part of the 360 acres. God is moving in the heart of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA ) to help level a field and provide discarded major league uniforms.

IT IS OBVIOUS WE NEED HELP WITH ENOUGH FINANCES TO MOVE AHEAD.

THANK YOU LORD FOR A CHANGE IN OUR LIVES
Above is a group of Christian workers who are clearing trees from a 30 acre field to plant food for the poor widows & children. Instead of guns and swords they have grubbing hoes.
 A Dinka man would not only give the shirt off his back, he would even give the skin off his back. Their generosity is entrenched deep in their culture. Their problem has been they have not had a "democratic" factor in their customs to work together as a nation. Christianity is giving them that vision. Shall we call it a "National Attitude Adjustment".  PTL

20th July, 2010 Report from Simon Angui
   We are writing from Wannaname Church to inform you of the work we are doing & things happening to us.  We thank God for the last two months we were with good rains and many people joined our church and 13 people were baptized into Christ.
  At the end of the month of June the heavy rains started and our church was completely flooded.  We do not have a building and the community around us are all displaced by the rain and flood.
  The church is on the lower land, not only were people displaced, the crops were also damaged this year with most of the major farms under water.  They will not have a good harvest. This is a sign of hunger next year.  We need to pray to God so that other doors would open for flood control in Sudan.  We believe that God has a purpose for our woes. 
   Our church ministry is going on well.  We have never stopped serving God.  We pray to God to bless Mr. Paul with the funds to send to our suffering people in the Church, so that they can have medicines, food and mosquito nets that are seriously needed.  If you come and see how much suffering the mothers and the children are in you will cry as you pray to God to have mercy on them.  I believe God is great, He will provide the way.
 We ask you to pray for the Referendum in Sudan. Thank you.

Luka Manot  Greets you in the Name of Jesus from the Church of Christ.  We do pray for you and  other brothers and sisters in U.S.A. for your support to our churches in Aweil plus Aweil Bible College.
Church activities
We continue with evangelization in every evening hour.  This month we converted 14 women & seven men were baptized.
Last month 15 men were baptized as a  result of much evangelization.  We Thank  God .  Last Sunday we baptized 13; 7 women and 6 men.  Thank God for these are Christians.
Sunday School  The teaching Sunday school children continue in both churches.  We have 90 children in two classes, 45 per class.  Peter  Deng and Moses Athian (recent Grads from ABC) are committed teachers.
Immediate Request: Sunday School Stationery for Math, English, Mother Tongue, Songbooks, Agriculture and Science: Cost $420.00 Also The Church needs more hymnbooks and  Bibles for evening bible classes.  Thank you.
Next year 2011 the plan is like this for Wannaname Church
We have 30 acres for crops to feed the poor  In January the clearing of land will start, cutting trees down and put them in one place to be burnt.  After finishing the whole clearing  the land will remain ready for cultivation. In May, the cultivation began for the period of 30 days.  The month of June and August  for weeding twice in each year.   The month of November it is harvest time. The most important thing that needs to be done is fencing.  The whole acreage needs to be fenced around to keep off cows, goats, donkeys and thieves away. Sudan Church of Christ members request all members in Sudan and USA and elsewhere to pray for long term plan to succeed. Thank you.
