After visiting Kiryandongo Refugee Camp, Africa Sunrise Communities has a renewed focus and mission to help the refugees and increase access to education.

My classmates’ confusion about scarification and my culture caused me much anguish. My book is the solution. The Lost is Found: A “Lost Boy’s” Story of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Love tells my story of becoming a “Lost Boy.”

Jacob Guot has begun his travels to Uganda to lay the groundwork for ASC’s involvement in the Bweyale Camp.

“The Lost is Found: A Lost Boy’s Story of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Love” is now available in paperback from Amazon.

One of the leaders in the refugee camps has written to Jacob to report that the camps at Kirangdongo and Yumba have been closed. Food shortages are severe; lack of leadership is hindering food rations from getting to those who need them most.

“I see you like a Martin Luther King or a Gandhi, bringing change to your people.” ASC President Jacob Guot recently attended a missions seminar in Costa Rica where a man named Alex challenged him to rethink his focus.

On the weekend of July 23-24, 2016, Jacob Guot visited the First United Methodist Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was accompanied by his whole family – his wife, Rebecca, his son Biar (7), his daughter Angieth (6), and his son Ayiei (nearly 3).

Come hear ASC President Jacob Guot speak at First United Methodist Church in Lancaster, PA, the weekend of Sunday, July 24, 2016. He will be sharing his story and his vision for work among the refugees of South Sudan in the three Sunday morning services.

On the heels of its fifth anniversary of independence, fighting has again broken out in South Sudan. ASC requests prayer for all involved and prays that God will intervene in the country’s suffering.
