After many years of persecution, churches in South Sudan are thriving and reaching people with the Good News of Jesus Christ. <\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

When a South Sudanese congregation found out a struggling widow named Abuk and her four children had been left homeless because of a fire, they knew they had to do something. <\/p>\r\n \r\n

The church members all had their own stories of hardship, suffering through decades of civil war and losing many loved ones along the way. Their sanctuary too had been burned several times. But, in their time of need, Samaritan's Purse partnered with them to rebuild. Our teams also followed up by engaging Pastor Daniel Lual and other leaders in a discipleship initiative that helps local Christians identify and meet physical and spiritual needs in their communities.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

After being blessed by others, the congregation was excited to put their discipleship training into action by helping Abuk. Believers raised the funds and did the labor required to build her a new home. They also began inviting Abuk to worship meetings, and she has since received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. <\/p>\r\n \r\n

“I became a Christian, which is making me joyful every day,” Abuk said. “My life has totally changed. I love sharing Jesus with others.”<\/p>\r\n \r\n \r\n
