Family and Mission highlights 2018: Major focus on food security in this report.

Shalom co-laborers in Yeshua, merry Christmas to you and your families. It is unbelievable that 2018 is actually coming to an end in few weeks. But praised be to God for bringing us together this far by faith. The year 2018 has been been a year of challenges and opportunity to serve the Lord with gratitude. His word is a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet. We always don't see everything which the Lord prepares for us ahead of time. Taking one day at a time, by faith, with your prayers and support, we will be finishing this year with great accomplishment both at the home front and in Operation Nehemiah Missions.

Family Highlights: Our home schooled eldest daughter Abijah (16) sat for her SAT exam and passed it. Our second born Nechemyah 14 is sitting for his A + Plus IT exam next week. Three of our younger children Hadassah 13, Jemimah 11 and Yehudah 9 are involved in learning architectural/ Engineering drafting. They are designing buildings, roads and bridges and are excited about them etc. Our 7 year Yerushah is learning piano etc. The biggest take of all is the arrival of our 7th born baby Shoshanah in March 2018.

Mission highlights: Major focus on agriculture in this report: We conducted two missionary trips to the South Sudan in May and September 2018. When we look at the success in the Beth Israel farmland in the agricultural sector of ONMI initiative, so much has been accomplished since April 2018. ONMI reached out to the community by providing them with tractors which were fitted with disc plows to clear their fields and produce food for themselves . The restoration of solar water system in two of ONMI compounds of Borongole and Beth Israel in January 2018. The ordination of 6 pastors in May 2018. Delivering of evangelistic materials to the community. Tens of thousands people received the gospel message through the radio. Medical supplies to four different villages in May and September 2018. The completion of the NTC 97.3 FM studio, Nehemiah Internet Café etc which will be the highlight of our next report , we can say with confidence that the Lord did this in the midst of chaos. The South Sudan' revitalization of peace agreement signed so that that hostility ceased and people return to their homes. For this we rejoice and as 2018 closes, may the Lord open a broad door for his work through ONMI in 2019. Together with your support, we will advance God’s work in South Sudan and even here in the USA.

Recapturing the vision and the goal of ONMI by its leaders : Without taking your time , if you have the times, please watch these three video clips to hear from three of us, our country Director Pastor Timothy Levi, ONMI Station Manger Robert Amoko and myself. We share our experience, observation and what we ought to improve on and what is your involvement in this work.
