"You don't know what you don't know"                      

Now stop for just a minute and think about that. I know that I don’t know how to fly a plane because I see pilots that do. I don’t know how to change the oil in my car but I know where to go to get someone to do it who DOES know. There are things that are not anywhere in my experience…quantum physics for example. I have NO CLUE! 

I guarantee if you read to the end you will know something you didn't know before.


What if knowing something you don't now know could actually save your life? or the lives of your children? There is a tree that grows in the wild and in many yards in South Sudan. It's primary use is for shade and boundary lines. That tree is the Moringa and its uses are amazing and life-changing! Our training expanded their knowledge and their shade tree became a source of safe drinking water, healthy diet, and inexpensive medicine (it helps the body heal from over 300 diseases). They didn’t know what they didn’t know. If you didn’t know see http://www.strongharvest.org/the-moringa-tree/ for more information.

"My people perish for lack of knowledge.." Hosea 4:6a

What's Next?  

The moringa tree improves life, but what if you don’t know about giving life? In South Sudan babies born not breathing are often set aside and assumed to be dead. Many women die in their thatched-roof “tukuls” during childbirth from very preventable causes. They can't afford to go to a hospital, and if they could, space is limited. They don’t know what they don’t know.

The women in Yei, South Sudan asked for training on how to share the Gospel and love of Christ just as the men do. We will partner with Teach to Transform in September to teach women “Helping Babies Breath.” This midwife training will give the women a practice way to show the love of God as they help babies enter the world healthy. Healthy moms will receive the good news that God loves them so much Jesus was born. Helping Babies Breath will start lives in both a physical and spiritual way. If you want to know more about this training check out http://teachtotransform.org/medical-training/.

We will also be training 8-10 farming cooperative groups about Farming God’s Way. This farming method will save money and increase crop yield exponentially.  If you don't know about that, check out http://www.farming-gods-way.org/overview.htm.

  • A Great Opportunity to Bring Hope

    Posted a week ago

    Thank you so much for your past financial support of the South Sudanese.  You have helped bring great hope to the, now, 3rd largest displaced people group in the world. You have encouraged brand new churches in over 15 refugee settlements, many of which are in Bidibidi, the largest refugee camp in the world. Your funds have brought the Love of Jesus to a very dark place.  His Light has shown brightly on the Hope of Peace.  There is a great opportunity next week to do even more. Giving Day is next week and is an opportunity for your special gift to be enhanced by a bonus pool provided by several generous donors. A percentage of this pool will be applied to each donation given during this time (Sept 12th). Every gift, big or small, will go further on e3 GivingDay! More information to come...

  • You Helped Make it Happen!

    Posted a week ago


    Dear Ministry Partners,

    A BIG THANK YOU 

    for responding so generously on e3 Giving Day!  

    I was overwhelmed by all of you who gave so that we can deliver the Gospel to South Sudan.

    e3 Partners raised over $700,000 on Tuesday.  I raised $6481 without any matching!  That means that, after matching, I raised the $6,749 I needed to cover my one-time expenses to attend training, go on two training trips, etc.  It was a blessed day full of God's provision.

    Thank you for living out the words of Jesus:

    ​Matthew 6: 19- 21​

    “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."​
