11 South Sudanese Churches you can pray for

You may not have any desire to come to South Sudan and its borderlands.

But that doesn’t mean you cannot pray.

You can pray for these churches and pastors from your prayer closet in America.

But be warned:  these strategic leaders and churches may capture your heart and you’ll find yourself on an airplane bound for Africa.

You were warned.

 

How your church can pray for a South Sudanese Church

1. Kakuma 1 Baptist Church

Kakuma is a large refugee camp set in northwest Kenya’s desert region. Pastor Ding Lual leads this Nuer tribe congregation. Many of the Baptist Convention’s present leaders came from this camp and church.

Pastor Thomas Tut

2. Kakuma 4 Baptist Church

This church plant, led by Pastor Thomas Tut, is also a Nuer congregation. The church family at Kakuma 4 have seen the horrors of civil war.

4. Ulua II Refugee Camp Adjumani, Uganda

This refugee camp, comprised of 3000 Dinka Bor, is ripe for planting a Baptist church. Two boreholes, drilled through Baptist Global Response, have opened doors of opportunity to share the Gospel and start a church.

7. Nyumazi 1 Baptist Church Uganda

Pastor David Dok leads this Baptist church set among over 20,000 refugees. His work hasn’t been easy and there are many ways a church could partner with David and his small (for now) church.
