About the Sudan Project...
Background
 Foreign Missionaries were ordered out of Sudan as early as 1963 while the Church was in its infancy. Left in the missionaries place were many poorly trained local church leaders. In 1955 a civil war began that lasted until 1972. In 1983 the civil war began again when the Government of Sudan tried to impose Islamic laws on the southern, non-Muslim population. From 1983-2004 over 2 million people were killed with over 5 million Sudanese displaced. In January, 2005 a peace treaty was signed which ended the civil war.
Our Goal
The Sudan Project’s goal is to evangelize our target area of Sudan, and the borderlands and refugee camps of Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Central African Republic. To achieve this goal our evangelists will be preaching and using the JESUS film (see photo, below), so that as many people as possible will have at least one chance to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. In areas with local churches we will work with the local churches to evangelize those areas. In areas with no local churches or few local churches we will plant churches. We are using over 100 evangelists and pastors to evangelize the target area.
