The Smith family is embarking on a mission to bring hope to the war-torn region of northwestern South Sudan. They will run a soccer camp for 600 children at a local school, sharing the Word and love of Christ through the joy of the game and teaching sessions. Despite the challenges of the journey, their dedication to reaching these forgotten places shines brightly. Sarah will also be teaching some cultural herbal medicine practices which have been lost since the war and presence of NGO relief. Join us in prayer and partnership as we sow seeds of love and faith, reminding these children that they are cherished, have a hope and a future, and are never forgotten.

Departure Date: We are coordinating with our team of pastors on the ground to finalize our departure date, aiming for sometime in July or early August. Due to the complexities involved, the exact dates may remain flexible until a few weeks before our journey.

Added Bonus: Since the fall of 2023, we've been collaborating with this school to build much-needed classrooms. Currently, 90% of the 600 students attend classes under a tree or in a makeshift grass structure. In the coming weeks, we plan to break ground on two classrooms and an administrative building for storing curriculum. It will be a blessing for us to be able to be there for part of this construction and seeing God at work! This is another step in our mission to bless and invest in the next generation. Our teachers, who are also local pastors and leaders, create an atmosphere centered around the Gospel.
