Thanks for your interest in S. Sudan. We were unable to complete travel there in 2020 or 2021, due to Covid-related restrictions. We’re planning to return June 2-14, 2022, if there are no quarantines, or other serious impediments to ministry. Due to country entry requirements and limited healthcare resources in-country, we require Covid vaccinations for team members. We try to create a ministry for you around your gifting. Currently team members plan to teach trauma counseling, equip youth leaders and pastors, and teach the global mission outreach. We have excellent relations with Buluk Eye Clinic in Juba and welcome licensed ophthalmologists and eye nurses to assist there.

If you need to obtain or renew your passport, allow at least 3 months. Visas can take several weeks, due to currently limited services. We use a very experienced company to book flights. Team training is done via Zoom. The team fee is $1,000, which covers lodging, meals and ministry opportunities within S. Sudan. Team members also pay for travel, immunization, visa and personal expenses.

We’ve had no security problems in our previous 13 trips to S. Sudan. However, we are upgrading security preparations as an extra precaution.
