DALLAS OFFICE
Dallas is home to approximately 8,000 Sudanese - the second largest population of southern Sudanese in the United States. Under the direction of Nathan Bogue, the Aid Sudan office in Dallas organizes special programs geared to acclimate the Sudanese into American culture through basic life skills. Partnering with area churches, the office builds relationships with local pastors in order to facilitate discipleship and mentoring.

Dallas Sudanese Celebrate Easter with Stories and Songs
Posted April 22, 2010

On Easter Sunday, Dallas Director Nathan Bogue, along with his wife Mary Margaret, joined over 200 Sudanese at All Nations Bible Fellowship Church for a joyous celebration surrounding the resurrection of Christ! Nathan and Mary Margaret taught a special children’s Bible study during the church’s newly formed Sunday School and as part of the lesson, the couple used “Resurrection Eggs” to tell the story of Jesus. From the children to the two Sudanese youth choirs to Pastor Yemba, the church was full of excitement on the special day!

Children Pitch In to Support Dallas Sudanese
Posted March 15, 2010

A group of preschoolers from Madison, Mississippi are truly making a difference in the lives of their Sudanese peers. As part of the Mission Friends program at Ridgecrest Baptist Church, a preschool missions class sponsored a church-wide drive to collect Sunday School supplies for Sudanese churches in the Dallas area.

To encourage children in Sunday School, the Mission Friends kids gathered supplies to support creative learning opportunities. Among the items collected were construction paper, kid-friendly scissors, glue sticks, tape, Bible storybooks, Bible-themed coloring books, markers and crayons.  

When the supplies were delivered to Forest Meadow Sudanese Church, Pastor Makola said theschool supplies gave him much hope for future growth. Thank you to all the preschoolers who helped gather materials for this drive and for the help of organizers Vicki Marcellus and Stacie Albritton.

There are many ways you can get involved and make a difference in the lives of the southern Sudanese in Dallas. One of these ways is to donate tangible items based on the specific needs of the community. We are currently accepting donations for like-new computers and laptops as well as school supplies for children. Aid Sudan will be glad to receive these items and pass them along to waiting Sudanese friends.
