Perhaps the most exciting and productive mission work in the world is raging in South Sudan. God has pulled together five mission-minded teams of workers to reap a huge harvest of souls.
First and foremost, there is the Starfish Foundation with ten “boots on the ground” evangelists (six of whom are WEI graduates) who travel by motorcycle to villages around Aweil Town to preach the Gospel where it has never been preached before and to strengthen new congregations that have been recently established.
God has raised up four other groups to work with Starfish Foundation as un-official partners-in-Christ: World English Institute, World Bible School, Global Seed Sowers, and now Southern Sudan Mission. God, in His providence, has bound us together as adjunct partners.
According to the leaders of Starfish Foundation, as of Sunday, July 5, “there had been 3,465 baptisms in and around Aweil, South Sudan in the first half of 2026 and 104 new congregations established.”
On June 28, one of the evangelists associated with Starfish Foundation reported, “I would like to inform you about our three-day seminar in Aweil South Sudan at the Dol Noon newly established Church of Christ. We have baptized 33 new souls.”
On July 2, 2026, another evangelist reported: “We had a wonderful 2-day seminar at Makerawach. A total of 22 souls were added to the Lord’s Kingdom.”
