Toposa Outreach Update – July 2021
JULY & AUGUST 2021
Immigration Paperwork: We are thankful for God providing the necessary immigration documents for the missionaries to enter South Sudan.
Preparation: On August 13-15th, the Toposa Team met at the SEND Center in Lodwar where they went over the Outreach Implementation Plan following the Gap Analysis exercise in Toposaland. Director Dalmas Esekon moderated the discussion that laid out the modalities for collaboration with the TNJ (Toposa, Nyan’gatom, Jiye) partners that already have a presence in Toposa, identified central places of worship, and emphasized the mission and vision of SHARE in Toposaland. The SHARE founder, Sammy Murimi, joined the meeting via Zoom where he challenged the team to stay on the course and not to waiver despite words of discouragement that may come from well meaning friends and family. He reminded them to remain good stewards of both their time and resources as the Toposa people will be watching them; that the life that they live will be an example to others.
Entry: Seven of the fifteen missionaries left for Toposaland on August 16th. They will spend the first two weeks identifying and verifying new villages to be reached and collecting factual survey information that will guide them in the next steps of evangelism and church planting.
