SOUTH SUDAN

 
 

South Sudan is the newest country on earth and also one of the poorest. A civil war ravaged the country for years, but now there is a national peace agreement in place. Unfortunately, orphans, vulnerable children,
and widows are among the most affected by war.

God has uniquely positioned His Voice Global to help with some of the big needs in these countries while acting in obedience to James 1:27 as “His voice” to the vulnerable.

His Voice Global has been active in ministry to South Sudan since 2003. During that time, we have been involved in food distribution, founded a primary school and orphanage, and founded a secondary school and orphanage. Strong relationships have been developed with local church leaders. When civil war broke out in December of 2013, we found that being “His voice” extended beyond “looking after orphans and widows in their distress” to acting as a trusted advisor for peace talks on a grass roots, state-by-state level. This in turn helped to provide the desperately needed stability for the most vulnerable.

 
 
 

Restore

Because of the long-term presence of His Voice Global in South Sudan, we have been given many opportunities, on multiple levels of society, to walk alongside the South Sudanese to work towards lasting change for peace. Our peacemaking strategy has been to facilitate grassroots conversations so warring factions in each state can come together, communicate grievances, and then work towards holistic solutions that will empower the South Sudanese to flourish.

This approach has proven successful, as a national peace agreement was signed in 2018. His Voice Global was honored to visit the office of the President in November of 2018 to celebrate this accomplishment. Peace in South Sudan now allows us to focus our efforts on the rescue of the many displaced by the war as we help vulnerable women and children through our Circle of Care.

Rebuild

His Voice seeks to help the country of South Sudan rebuild as they continue on the path of peace and restoration. As students graduate from secondary school in South Sudan, they may apply for assistance from His Voice Global to continue their education. If accepted, and they choose to come to Uganda under the care of our staff in Arua, they will receive life skill development as a part of the holistic discipleship needed to complete their education and potentially return to their home country as an agent of change.

In addition, His Voice seeks to help create income-generating opportunities wherever possible in South Sudan by providing Economic Empowerment assistance for individuals in local communities. 

 
 
 

Renew

The Education Fund, which provides financial aid for the student’s college or trade school attendance, facilitates renewal by preparing the students to contribute to society in positions of cultural influence and be all that God intends for them to be as His children.
