Our team of GBEF missionaries, comprising Dr Stanislas Kabalira, Holondine N. Habimana and Fidele Niyonkuru, visited the Laarim tribe in South Sudan from 6 to 17 August 2024 to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. For this occasion, GBEF donated solar lamps to the Laarim people.

As August in the Laarims region is the season for protecting sorghum fields from birds, people are generally available for meetings in the evenings. The big evangelistic meetings were held in the village in the evenings and in the open air thanks to the solar lamps that GBEF had brought them. Other small meetings were held at the missionaries’ residence or in the open air, under the trees.

God opened the heart of the Laarim to the Gospel, a big number of men and women gave their lives to Jesus and the seek were healed in Jesus name.

The Bible says: “So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’’ (Luke 17:10). We thank God for having answered our prayers and for having enabled us to carry out the mission of evangelization in South Sudan.  May God bless all those who have contributed to the accomplishment of this mission, whether through their prayers and/or their generous financial contributions.

We encourage every born-again Christian and every evangelical church to become more involved in fulfilling the Great Commission: “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28 :18-20).

Our prayer is that God sends true laborer’s, for they are few in number but the harvest is plentiful.
