Help Us Complete the Wall!
July 11, 2022
Education is crucial to preparing the next generation of leaders for South Sudan, a country that received its independence just eleven years ago. It has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. My vision is to build an elementary school at the Rising Hope Christian Center in Bor. But the wall must be finished first, or all our good work will be in vain!

Nehemiah, my Life Role Model
June 3, 2022

Changing the World Begins with Changing Ourselves
May 6, 2022
Changing the world begins with changing ourselves. We need to change our minds about those who may have hurt us, change our hearts, and maybe even change our lifestyles. Just as Nehemiah turned straight to prayer and holiness as the cure for his nation’s state of collapse, we can impact our world today if we work on changing ourselves first.

The Power of Three Words in My Life: Reconciliation Rehabilitates
April 18, 2022
