| ECM Offers New Hope for a New Sudan | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For twenty years the brave people of southern Sudan have struggled for existence as their own government in Khartoum in the north bombed them and did everything possible to annihilate them. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| At last, in January 2005, through the efforts of leaders like John Garang, a peace agreement was signed. Although there have been some violations, the agreement gives southern Sudan a rest that this generation has never known. It also makes it safer and much more feasible for Christian organizations to help rebuild that devastated land. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In November 2006, ECM International Directors John and Lorella Rouster, accompanied by David Lubaale of Uganda, made an initial visit to Sudan. David urged the visit because he said, "If you want to consider areas of greatest need, I can tell you right now it's Sudan." Some relief supplies were delivered to a church and orphanage there, like Bibles, Gospel booklets from | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| World Missionary Press, clothing, shoes, soccer balls and needles and other items. This was a great encouragement to the orphans. It's wonderful to see the joy on the faces of downtrodden children as they realize they are not forgotten. On December 1, the International Board committed ECM to ministry in the New Sudan, as the southern part of the country is now called. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Every Child Ministries' first initiative will be a series of training seminars for children's ministry. We are planning those for early 2009. We are looking for evangelical Christians with wide experience in children's ministries who are not afraid to rough it for a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| short time for the sake of the Gospel. There are no hotels or restaurants in most of the places we need to go. The group will camp in tents or live in local accommodations and prepare their own food. Please contact ECM if you are interested. We are looking for American Christians who can pay their own way. You could also consider financially supporting the ministry of a Ugandan Christian to accompany Lorella for the training. E-mail us for the latest details. |
