The Republic of South Sudan, the newest country in the world, became an independent state on 9 July 2011; it is a United Nations member state, and a member state of the African Union.
SOUTH SUDAN adopted a National Anthem with the beginning phrase: "O God, we praise and glorify you for your grace on South Sudan."South Sudanese people practice mainly indigenous traditional beliefs, with others adhering to Christianity as a result of Christian missionary efforts.
Some 8 million people live in South Sudan on a rural subsistence economy, while 80% of Sudanese oil is located in South Sudan. Sharing of these proceeds is disputed and the resulting benefits are still not felt. Over 2.5 million people have died as a result of war. 60 different languages prevail, and the new country struggles with some of the worst "health indicators" in the world.
BUT OUR GOD REIGNS !

Here South Sudanese people are responding to an invitation as a result of seeing the Jesus film in their own language. Many will receive Audio Bibles with the text of the Jesus Story in their own language to listen to over and over again. |

Instead of Ministry workers showing the Jesus Film just packing up the video equipment and leaving, they also distribute Audio Bibles to local pastors and leaders with the same "Stories of Jesus" from the Gospel of Luke that was seen on the film in their own languages. This then leads to people listening and interacting with the Word of God together on a regular basis, and the start of a new fellowship of Believers. The combination of technologies and Scripture engagement methods is proving to be very effective.
In this war torn new nation of The Republic of South Sudan, illiteracy is staggering, and well beyond the average 62% rate for the rest of the world.
