Welcome to Sudan – the land of superstitions, traditions of darkness and the tragedy of years of war. But God has this message for Sudan: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the Glory of the LORD rises upon you.” Isaiah 60:1
Sudan has a mountain known to the local people as “Superstition Mountain.” They believe if anyone climbs to the top they will not come back alive. Three of the young men from the Sudan Christian Outreach Ministries mission climbed this mountain and planted a cross. This has become a prophetic sign that is breaking the superstition of generations both in the natural and the spiritual. It is also showing that the message of the cross of Jesus Christ is bringing truth, light and life to those who for years have been held in the bondage of sin and death.
Mark 7:13 "You have made the word of God of none effect through your traditions"
Penetrating the traditions once set in the lives of the people is very difficult. Given a choice, the word of God or the traditions handed down to them, they will chose their traditions almost every time, making the Word of God of none effect. God has given us the opportunity to raise and train a young generation of children in the ways of the Kingdom through Alpha Primary School. Learning the ways of the Kingdom is a priority in each class room. Our teachers are born again, Kingdom people.
The first school building is now finished and has about 165 students excitedly attending class each day. Each day begins with the truth of God's Word and prayer. Classes are designed to teach Kingdom principles along with academic studies.
There are very few certified teachers in Sudan so most of the teachers must be brought in from Uganda. The cost of teacher salaries, housing and transport can be very expensive. We must now raise an additional $1,000 a month to operate Alpha Primary School. Once the administration cost is raised we will be able to have all seven classes functioning. We now have P1, P2 and P3 classes.
Children are now required to pay the equivalent of $2.50 a term (3 months). Many cannot even pay this and would not be able to attend if the fees were more. Seven ($7) dollars a month or sixty five dollars ($65) a year will support a child in school. Will you help us support these children?
The demand is so great that we could have three hundred children attending Alpha Primary School. We are praying for funds to cover the administration cost of the school so that we can reach the next generation with truth and life.
Thank you for supporting the work of S.C.O.M. and the mission team that serves the people of Southern Sudan.
