Dear Friends and Co-laborers in the Great Commission,

Shalom! Greetings to you in the name of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His mercies are indeed new every morning, and His steadfast love never fails!

It is with great joy and thanksgiving that I announce the birth of our third daughter and fourth child, Jemimah Laura Rose. She was born on the morning of April 2^nd, and weighed a healthy 8 lbs. 1 oz. Hannah is recovering well, and Jemimah is a very content, peaceful child.

Her siblings are delighted with her arrival! We praise God for adding to our family and pray that we will be diligent to raise Jemimah for His glory.

The progress taking place in New Sudan is strengthening each day, as the Lord continues to open broad doors for ministry and development. The Nehemiah Health Clinic is scheduled to open its doors in early June, and we have been praying for a steady supply of medicine and vaccines to be provided. We were amazed to receive the answer to that prayer recently, when a medical ministry based in Wisconsin contacted us and offered over 12 million dollars worth of pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies! Lord willing, this donation will enable us to operate the field clinic continually for many years to come, without the interruptions that often result from a lack of basic supplies. We only need an additional $9,000 to complete the interior with plumbing and electrical work. Hallelujah!

I am also excited to report that the construction of our 300ft radio tower for Nehemiah Trumpet Call 97.3 FM Gospel radio in Nimule, South Sudan has commenced. A new 6 bay radio antenna will strengthen our current signal significantly and will boost the current transmitter power to cover a listening area of over 100 miles. Over 500,000 people both in South Sudan and northern Uganda will be reached by this radio station. The Body of Christ all across America raised a total of $75,000 dollars for this project through VCY America, a conservative Christian radio station. We are truly humbled by their generosity and love for their Brethren in New Sudan.

Our Repatriation Program has been in need of a heavy duty transport vehicle since the program was launched, and it took us over a year of searching to locate the right truck for the job. The Lord providentially provided a five ton refurbished military truck through the generosity of the ProVision Foundation and Clark Truck Parts, based in West Virginia. We are also grateful for underwriting support from The Universal Aid Society and our local Church Body here in the Berkshires. The Truck is now en route to Southern Sudan and will arrive May 30^th! The timing of its arrival will coincide with the resettling of another 156 South Sudanese Nationals who have been accepted into the program.

Summer Mission Trip

Please be in prayer for my upcoming trip to the field, scheduled for June 28^th-July 14^th. I will be accompany by a missionary well drilling expert, Mr. Chris Cutter, with the goal of drilling more wells for the community, among other projects. Last year Chris was unable to travel to New Sudan to help, but now it seems the Lord has made it possible for him to be of service to children and widows in the South Sudan. He called me recently and offered to donate his time for the project! God can truly do the impossible.

We need $35,000 dollars to accomplish the tasks at hand which will cover the on going work in the field over the summer, including our traveling expenses. By the grace of God, we hope to have 80% of the fund by June 15^th. If you are able, would you consider sending a gift to help defray the costs involved?

I praise God for your faithful support and love for the persecuted Church. Your encouragement is saving the lives of so many. God bless you.In His service,

William Levi,
President & CEO

Dear Friend and Co Laborer in the Great Commission,

Greetings to you in the matchless name of Jesus, our blessed Messiah! I pray this note finds you and your loved ones well and prospering in the beauty of the summer season.

I would like to thank you for your prayers and support for my upcoming mission to New Sudan, taking place June 24^th-July 11^th. To date, I have received $11,000 toward my mission trip goal of $35,000! Praise the Lord! I now have three weeks to raise the remaining balance of $24,000. These funds will address the following projects:

• Completion of Nehemiah Field Clinic- $7,000.00
• Well drilling project- $2,000
• Church support and outreach materials- $2000
• Finishing of Mission House guest rooms- $ 1500
• Radio Tower generator hook up- $ 5000
• Agricultural tools and supplies- $ 1500
• Staff salaries and general operating budget- $ 5000

Thank you for prayerfully considering sending a special gift toward this mission. Summer is always a difficult time for fundraising, but by the grace of God and your support, I know all these pressing needs will be met. Your partnership is crucial in our endeavor to be a voice for the suffering Church in the Sudan.

Gifts of any size go a long way in making a difference in individual lives. This truth is beautifully expressed in a testimony I recently received from Luka Benson, a student who has been supported by your donations through Operation Nehemiah to attend Mbarara University of Science and Medical School in Uganda. Raised in refugee camps, a son of a widow, he will be graduating with his degree in medicine this June. He will be serving as Operation Nehemiah’s medical staff to head the Nehemiah Medical clinic in the South Sudan.

Dear William,

I know it has been not easy for you and the donors in America to bring me up to this level. You accepted to carry the load meant for my parents. This shows to me the depth of love that flows from you all to our neighborhood. All who know me can see clearly how far I have come and where I am now. Many may not truly appreciate what Operation Nehemiah is doing, but here I stand as a testimony to others as to what Operation Nehemiah has achieved here in Africa.

Luka Gobi Benson,
Mbarara University of Science and Technology

It is success like this that keeps me inspired to continue pressing on in this work. I pray it does the same for you.

In His service,
William Levi
