WHAT IS IT?
"Years ago, God called me to return to southern Sudan as a missionary to my own people. I never knew how I would follow that call, but now, with Aid Sudan's program, I will live out the call that God has placed on my life."
At various places around the United States, southern Sudanese are saying these words to us in response to the Moses Project, our southern Sudanese missionary program. Just as Moses lived among foreigners only to be called by God to return and save his own people, this program seeks southern Sudanese in the U.S. with a heart and calling to return to their own people and native land. They know the language and culture, can handle the living conditions and are best primed to impact their people.
The Moses Project involves the training, sending and supporting of southern Sudanese in the U.S. as they return to southern Sudan as missionaries to their own people.
Launched in September 2007, the Moses Project provides extensive training in Chronological Bible Storying, a highly effective tool in communicating an oral Bible to those who cannot read or write. Additional training includes the areas of Aid Sudan’s Genesis Project – water, education, health and the church - as well as cross-cultural preparation, since many southern Sudanese have not returned to southern Sudan in twenty years. They also receive counseling sessions to work through the challenges of many years past.
Missionaries are asked to make a three-year commitment, alternating time between the U.S. and southern Sudan. All southern Sudanese interested in the program are encouraged to contact David Humphrey, Director of the Moses Project, at david@aidsudan.org.
