Puzzle Pieces Possibly Connecting for VEC (Values Education Class) Program in South Sudan

This week we welcomed back our colleague Beth from Nairobi and South Sudan.  Among other huge needs, she continues to trust God for the drilling of a well and construction of an office building for the young Scripture Union (SU) ministry there. 

As we met together for sharing and prayer, Beth expressed her burning desire to help SU of South Sudan incorporate the VEC (Values Education Classes) program this school year (which begins early next month), especially in Juba, the capital. As you may remember, some months ago, the Ministry of Education (government) in Juba gave permission to SU South Sudan to teach the VOICE Curriculum in all Primary and Secondary Schools.  Beth’s excitement bubbled over as she also shared that one of her supporters had just written asking if SU South Sudan needed help to acquire teaching materials! In an almost immediate answer to Beth’s email to South Sudan SU leadership, she learned that the director was about to write to her about his desire to see the VEC (Values Education Class) ministry “take off” in Juba this school year. Of course one of the crucial needs for that to happen is the acquisition of curriculum…especially financially… Join us in prayer that God will connect these pieces so that SU South Sudan can purchase some of the Truth Module printed here to use in the schools of this needy nation. Pray too for reestablishment of peace in South Sudan which, of course, would facilitate much needed stability in the nation.
