What a gift it was in 2017 to see God’s grace

continue to fall on South Sudan. In this land of

suffering, God is moving in tremendous power.

We witnessed miracles of soul and body take

place, with hundreds of churches planted and

tens of thousands now saved over the past

several years. Our great God is moving in great

power for His great glory in South Sudan.

The joy of this journey is not only found among

South Sudanese brothers and sisters but in our

amazing friends and partners stateside. Thank

you from the bottom of our hearts for your love

for South Sudan. Your generosity, prayers, and

advocacy meant the world to us yet again in 2017.

Even after twelve years with Every Village, my

excitement about the future is greater than

ever. Our board, advisory board, and team are

incredible. Water and radio continue to transform

communities. And most importantly, we are

blessed to be on the front lines of the greatest

move of God I’ve ever seen. The throneroom of

heaven is being filled with South Sudanese and I

can’t wait to see all our God has in store in 2018.

Thank you for the deep privilege of this journey

together for His glory.

Water is the greatest physical need that the

South Sudanese face. 40% of the country does

not have access to clean drinking water. Every

Village’s water well drilling meets physical and

spiritual needs, as South Sudanese no longer

have to walk for hours to get water. Now they

can go to church and their lives are holistically

changed. Churches are growing quickly and

the impact is profound. As our water teams

coordinate drilling and ongoing sustainability

efforts, transformation is coming to the villages

of South Sudan.

Praise God for His power and grace on display

in South Sudan through radio! He is moving

in mighty ways. In a country with one of the

lowest literacy rates, radio speaks to the heart

of oral learners and in their heart language.

Where the villages are spread out over the

South Sudanese landscape, radio can reach

every home and bring the gospel to every ear.

Every Village’s missionaries

faithfully love and serve the

South Sudanese people.

From various nationalities, our

missionaries seek to disciple local

friends while overseeing water

and radio projects. The lifestyle

of our missionaries is inherently

rugged in this land, while the

relationships are beautiful as the

gospel moves in such power.

From witchdoctors saved to

miraculous healings to deep discipleship,

God worked through short and long-term

missionaries in 2017.

In November, when we visited one water well which was recently

drilled, we were met by men who had come to the water well for a

meeting. Through a translator the elder shared with us his gratitude

for the water well. “Water is life. We used to get our water from a

hand dug well. Thank you for this water well! We welcome your

mission and we are very happy to plant a church here. We did not

know you were coming today. We were having our meeting here

to discuss how to start the church.” Since drilling 15 water wells in

this area three churches have started and we hear that many more

are in the works. Drilling water wells is a very effective way to plant

churches. This is one of many stories of how God’ s presence is

moving in South Sudan and how Every Village is having an impact

to further the kingdom.

Since I received a radio from Every Village’s radio station, I feel like I

can see again. Through the daily broadcasts, my spiritual eyes have

been opened. I love listening to the Good News. If the station was

to shut down, I feel like I would go blind again. It enables me to see

even though I am blind.

Both Isaac Mouter and Peter Marial have continued to tell the

Bible stories with the groups Tianna and I started. They went

with us as translators at first but now are the ones teaching

and leading. These discipleship groups are supporting the local

churches that have been planted.

PA S T O R I S A I A H M A D U O K P E N G

The Bible teaching at Every Village’s radio station is very

insightful. Many of us Pastors have not received any formal Bible

training. Our teaching is not as strong as what we hear on the

radio. This is why we listen daily so we can learn how to deliver

God’s word to our congregations. The members of the church

confirm that we teach the truth when they have heard the same

teaching taught on the radio. This encourages and motivates us.

J O S E P H + C A RO L N J U G U N A | M I S S I O N A R I E S

Thank you for praying with us and for supporting us. We have

received overwhelming support for the radio ministry. More than

800 pastors traveling for long distances brought their church’s

contribution to our radio. Some of these Pastors told us that

it took them three days and three nights to get to us, since

they were walking. Together they brought enough money to

operationally run the radio station for six months. Praise the Lord.
