Pastor Kaya and family
Sudan (MNN) ― Despite extremely challenging conditions and years of civil war, ministry in Sudan is being cultivated. For the last five years, E3 Partners has worked with missionary David Kaya in Sudan.
His vision is to plant healthy churches throughout Southern Sudan. Over the last few years, he's worked alongside local believers and pastors to bring the Gospel into the rural villages using the EvangeCube, followed by discipleship.
But many new pastors struggle. They preach, support their families (Sudan churches rarely tithe), counsel and shepherd their flocks. As a result, they grow tired and need respite.
That prompted the first Pastor's Conference in 2007. Kaya and his team hosted them, fed them, encouraged them and reminded them to preach and teach sound doctrine in their churches.
80 pastors attended the all-Sudanese-led Pastor's Conference in 2007. Word spread, and this year drew more than 700 pastors from not only Sudan, but also Congo and Northern Uganda.
Kaya's passion for the pastors also has led him to establish a Bible School in Kajo Keji to train them, and he's hoping it will become a full seminary. Pray that God would help the team overcome the obstacles.
