When Ruth and I lived in Uganda, we had the privilege of welcoming into our home the Scripture Union South Sudan National Director, Manese and his wife, on one or two occasions. What a blessing to meet them and hear their humble servant hearts as they faithfully serve God in difficult circumstances.
Although we know the VOICE curriculum is continuously being used in that nation in spite of on-going conflict and violence, we seldom hear actual details or receive pictures. So...what a treat last month to receive his May, 2023, report. Amid lots of other great ministry among schools, street children, etc., that Scripture Union is so well known for doing, we, of course were particularly interested to learn that 630 students were reached through Values Classes in five schools. Plus, more recently, 300+ students were reached through Values classes in Kojokeji, a town somewhat close to the eastern Uganda/South Sudan border. And then we also received this picture

taken in the “interior,” of a class that had just finished the Forgiveness Module. Wow, we “hit the jackpot!” His report also listed several goals with one of them being to train 20 new volunteers to teach the Values Curriculum.
Only God knows the full extend of how the VOICE curriculum is being used of God among these East African nations. It is humbling to know that we—you included—have had a small part in what the Lord of the Harvest is doing. Praise Him...and keep praying.
