praising the Almighty and sharing His Gospel.<\/p>\r\n                    \r\n                    <p>Among the mountains of southern Sudan, Pastor Gabriel Kuku\u2019s church was burned to the ground by gun-wielding Islamist forces in back-to-back years at the height of the war in the 1990s. <\/p>\r\n\r\n                    <p>\u201cThe soldiers told us, \u2018We won\u2019t let this church exist,\u2019\u201d Pastor Kuku recounted of the second attack. \u201cThey surrounded the church with machine guns.\u201d<\/p>\r\n                    \r\n                    <p>At the news of enemy soldiers in the village, the community\u2019s Muslims and other non-Christians gathered at the entrance of the church in solidarity with the Christians. Some of the teenage soldiers defected and also stood with the Christians.<\/p>\r\n                    \r\n                    <p>Instead of opening fire, the soldiers kidnapped Pastor Kuku, a youth leader at the time, and two elders. Though bruised and beaten, Pastor Kuku and the others eventually escaped imprisonment. When Samaritan\u2019s Purse arrived to rebuild a church of concrete and steel, he rejoiced.<\/p>\r\n                    <p class=\"h3\" style=\"margin-block: 2lh;\"><b>\u201cI believe that Samaritan\u2019s Purse was sent by God to open this church for us, and when that happened, many people came to hear the Word of God,\u201d<\/b> Pastor Kuku said. <b>\u201cThis gave us encouragement to continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/b>  <\/p>\r\n                    <div id=\"kuku\" class=\"pq\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"bg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-bg__S.jpg 800w,https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-bg__M.jpg 1200w,https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-bg__L.jpg 1800w\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-bg__S.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"fg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-fg__S.png 800w,https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-fg__M.png 1200w,https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-fg__L.png 1800w\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.theark.cloud\/sp-comm-arkfiles\/website\/images\/2026\/crp\/img\/2627SU-F1-268-fg__S.png\" alt=\"\">\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <section id=\"hill\" class=\"space-large\">\r\n                    <header>\r\n                        <hgroup>\r\n                            <h2 class=\"h1\" style=\"color: #7e563f;color: #333\">A City on A Hill Cannot Be Hidden <\/h2>\r\n                        <\/hgroup>\r\n                    <\/header>\r\n                    <div class=\"space\">\r\n                        <p>The Nuba Mountains of Sudan, where Pastor Kuku leads his church, remain embattled long after South Sudan celebrated its independence.<\/p>\r\n                        \r\n                        <p>Samaritan\u2019s Purse rebuilt 168 churches in this remote, difficult-to-access region, including Pastor Kuku\u2019s.
