SENDING THE WORD TO SOUTH SUDAN

As you may already know, Mission Cry has teamed up with a ministry out of California, Far Reaching Ministries (FRM), to reach the nation of South Sudan through their military chaplaincy program. Through this connection, God has led us to new ground and given us the opportunity to send a container of Bibles there. This opportunity has come out of our partnership with Wes Bentley, founder of FRM, and the organization.

Wes Bentley is a former Marine and missionary who founded FRM in 1998 out of the vision God gave him to reach the entire continent of Africa. FRM has planted churches and Bible schools throughout African nations, and Mr. Bentley currently resides in the States where he trains up chaplains to advance the Kingdom as they serve the Military. Upon graduation, the chaplains are immediately commissioned and sent to minister at the front lines in South Sudan.

It is because of this God-ordained connection that we have an open door into Sudan, and we are infiltrating the country with God’s Word. Please read on to hear some of the testimonies that are coming from this!

A GREAT COMMISSION Upon graduation, chaplains are deployed to front line battle units, as well as non-combat units. Chaplains deployed to front line combat zones promote human rights, ensure the well-being of prisoners of war (POW), serve as clergy to wounded or dying soldiers, evangelize, disciple Christian soldiers, teach Bible studies, conduct church services, as well as serve as spiritual mentors and counselors.

LIGHT IN DARK PLACES Terrorized by the Government of Sudan and a group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army, the people of South Sudan have experienced decades of poverty, violence, child abduction, and many forms of torture because of their Christian beliefs. FRM is there with night shelters for those displaced from their homes, teaching Bible studies to children and caring for orphans.
