From the Muru tribe in South Sudan:
“I did not know the love of God. I did not understand who God is. I had the fear of everything because war and fighting is the order of the day in the Nuba mountains.
In February of 2020, I came from the Nuba mountains after having stayed in the forest with my animals for long time. My parents lost track of me, and later, rebels took away some one hundred animals from me. They beat me so much before leaving me on my own. I was taught that all that we needed in life was our animals, and to me, taking my animals was like putting me to death.
I walked to the camp. My life was worthless. I no longer had any hope in witchcraft because it did not protect me from my enemies.
At the camp, I sought help, but no one would help me. I started asking people for food, but many people would beat me up. Sometimes, I was asked to work for someone, and in return, they would give me enough food for that day.
In 2021, out of frustration I listened to the gospel being preached in one of the crusades, and I chose the way of life. The Lord Jesus Christ has given me a new hope and a new life.
I now stand before men and proclaim the Gospel of the kingdom of God. I no longer fear witchcraft or anything else. Jesus Christ has brought peace to me, and
above all, I am happy that I am now a child of God.
When I finish my education I want to join a mission school, be trained, and then go to reach out to other people who have not been reached. What a joy to find my new family! What a new life in Christ Jesus!”
2 Cor 5:17: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Pray that this young man will have boldness to preach the Gospel in all seasons. He is a high school student and is training other people to know the Lord and to walk in the way of the Lord.
