Latest from Doro





The last two months in Doro has been a time of settling in, getting to know my way around the bush, and the villages, learning the language, spending time with the people, and seeking the Lord and how to proceed with the HIV/AIDS ministry He has called me to.

As I prepare to return to Sudan after spending sometime in Nairobi, I would like to share with you what I will be doing.

VISION Hope for Sudan HIV/AIDS
God has impressed upon my heart this ministry and last year made it clear to me and to leadership that it was time to start walking forward through the doors He was opening. He showed us that Doro is where the ministry needed to began, and opened the door for me to move to Doro.

The focus as we get started is to spend time with the people in Mabaan, as we look to the Lord to provide those who He wants trained. I will be training 6 to 8 women and men leaders in HIV/AIDS, as well as the Gospel Wordless Book, along with disciplining and mentoring them. We will spend two weeks in a classroom setting, and then 1 week in the rural villages, schools and churchs presenting a Christ-centered HIV/AIDS prevention message, all the time sharing the Love of Jesus, and giving the reason for the hope we have. (Jesus) We will continue on with additional training during the times we are not out in the bush teaching.

The wider vision for this Ministry is: to provide home based care for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and their families, as well as children affected by AIDS. This project will help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, while identifying those who are HIV+ in order to provide care and treatment. Both of these avenues will allow for opportunities to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
