Serving Christ together in the Republic of South Sudan
After decades of civil war, South Sudan became an independent country on July 9, 2011. Shelvis and Nancy work with RECONCILE (Resource Center for Civil Leadership), an indigenous ecumenical Christian organization, which promotes “peace-building.” RECONCILE provides training in trauma recovery, conflict transformation, and civic education in areas of high inter-ethnic conflict. Please pray God will heal the people of South Sudan so they can build a peaceful nation. Please pray for the RECONCILE staff as they train leaders and for Nancy and Shelvis as they seek to be ambassadors for Christ carrying out God’s ministry of reconciliation.
