I’m excited to report regarding a recent survey trip by
Brother James Puot, Preacher and Director of the Gambella - South Sudanese
School of Biblical Studies, in Gambella, accompanied with four other preachers made to the newest Ethiopian
Refugee Camp in Itang, Ethiopia several days ago. The brethren, some from
Malkal and presently refugeed with brethren in Nisar and some from the Nisar
congregation traveled to Gambella to attend continuing education classes, but
took time to make the trip to Itang. Unfortunately they had to return to the
Nisar Area as war broke out again in
Nisar and they were concerned for their families.
While James and the brethren were at the camp they visited
with many of the refugees and found one sister and her child. James said the
Refugees were greatful for the brethren's desire to start a congregation in or
around the camp. Two or three of the Brothers, all graduates of our level one
and level two classes and preachers from the Malakal Region, are contemplating
moving to the camp to start a congregation.
The Itand Refugee Camp
was established in early January 2014 to accommodate refugees from the warfare
in South Sudan. The camp is projected to
accommodate in excees 1,000,000 refugees.
Itang is approximately 35 miles from Gambella.
James accompanied the brethren to Nisar to purchase and
disperse food to the brethren in Nisar. James said many of the brethren are in
the bush, but there was food to buy and they would seek out each family and
give them food for the month.
Praise God for faithful brethren like these who willingly
risk their lives for the cause of Christ. Please keep all the brethren in your
prayers.
Sister in Christ
