Empower One

A statistic can tell you a lot about something.
A story can change how you see it.

In South Sudan, 64% of children never have the opportunity to enroll in school.

But behind that number are children with names, stories, gifts to discover, and futures worth investing in.

South Sudan is a young nation still rebuilding after decades of conflict. Many communities are still without infrastructure and resources needed for children to receive quality education.

It’s part of Vision 2032: every Flagship Church will have a school.

Because the numbers matter. And the students matter even more.

A glimpse of ministry in the Upper Nile, South Sudan. 🌅

The Flagship Church in Malakal has planted churches throughout the state.

They are faithfully making disciples, hosting women’s conferences, preaching and teaching God’s Word, and gathering to pray and seek God’s direction.

Please pray with us for the churches across Upper Nile State, for Pastor John and those he is shepherding, and for continued strength and wisdom as local leaders share the hope of Christ.

We’re thankful for every pastor, every church, every partner, and every prayer that makes this ministry possible.

The community where “A” grew up is hostile to Christians, but after following Jesus, he is determined to stay with them and tell them about the gospel.

He sits with them and cares for them in the midst of suffering.

When the opportunity comes, he tells them about Jesus.

In his town, there are now many believers waiting to be baptized – in a place where public profession of faith in Christ is dangerous.

They are being discipled and joining him in ministry.

“I really want to support these people. Some are vulnerable, especially the young children.” – A

Please pray with us for “A”: for him, his family, and their safety; the believers he is shepherding; and the unreached in his community to hear about Jesus.

You can help support the work of “A” and missionaries like him: https://empower-one.org/give

This month, would you pray with us for schools and students in Northeast Africa?

Education opens doors. It creates opportunities for children to learn, grow, and one day provide for their families.

We’re praying that young people will receive an education, and become faithful disciples, leaders, business owners, pastors, and parents who will shape their communities for Christ.

Pray with us for:
✏️ Open doors for outreach to schools, that students would hear the gospel and follow Jesus
✏️ More boys and girls to have the opportunity to go to school
✏️ Families, especially mothers, working to provide school fees for their children
✏️ Provision of the means to establish and strengthen schools
✏️ Teachers and school staff working in schools
✏️ A generation of students equipped to serve Christ and build their communities through their faith and education

Thank you for standing with the African Church, and future generations, in prayer.

Taking some time today to be grateful for the pastors and leaders who are serving faithfully in their communities. 🌍 These pictured are some of the many God has raised up.

These men and women are the real deal. It's a privilege to serve with them, learn from them, and watch them in action.

We want to invite you to pray for them: for their strength in the Lord, for their families, and for God's guidance in their work for His glory.

This team’s message started in Malakal, South Sudan, and traveled to homes hundreds of miles away.

Here, they are preaching from Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Radio is part of daily life in South Sudan, which makes it a simple and powerful way to reach communities that are otherwise difficult to access.

Your support helps bring the hope of the gospel to homes across South Sudan. Thank you for being part of these stories. 🧡
