The DREAM

HOW WAU HOPE OUTREACH BEGAN, HISTORY , AND FUTURE VISION

THE DREAM:

(Hab.2:14) “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.”

In the midst of 2013 I had a dream while in Juba - South Sudan that i was in the top on a mountain in Juba called ( Jabel Kujor) mean ( witchcraft Mountain) while in the top of the mountain I was praising and worshiping God; then I began sharing the gospel and ask peoples to pray with me to accept Christ as LORD and Savior and suddenly I was able to see multitude of peoples weeping and kneeling down in their homes praying to accept Christ as LORD and Savior and i had the ability to see in every single home from the top of the mountain. I didn’t know how they heard without using any microphone.

I woke up and share it with my pastor and he said “ the LORD has given you the city”, so i moved on and organize with the youth group in the church to hike that mountain and more than 150 signed up and we walked up to the top of mountain and I said in my heart “No one should be left behind no matter what” and surely we all made it to the top of the mountain for the first time and we worship the LORD their and I shared with the youth the dream.

Rumeck Evangelist & Medical Outreach

Following the dream and acting on it we organized evangelism and medical outreach to Rumbek in Aug.2018 with about 20 volunteer doctors and the impact was so great that the peoples of Rumbek still talked about it today.

First civil war Dec.2013

Early 2014 the country went into a merciless war that dragged almost everyone in even some dear believers; so we (Rev. Joseph Noel, Rev.Michael Aban & myself) began questioning the loyalty and allegiance of our brothers and sisters in Christ who joined the baseless war ( is their allegiance and loyalty to their tribe or to Christ?) and are we truly a Christian nation ? If so, why are we killing each other? If not then something needs to be done .

By the grace of God we were able to figure out what needed to be done, re-evangelise and disciplining the nation of South Sudan, but how and who is going to do it? And is when we heard the LORD clearly saying ( you do it), but God we said “ there is 64 tribe in South Sudan and we only speak three languages and even if we are to use Jesus film we don’t have the generator to operate it” then I said to Joseph Noel “ I wish if there were a solar projector that can be charged using the sun”.

Arrival of Solar Projector

Ten days later, my friend pastor Gorashi Jangi from the USA called me out of the blue and said “ hi Abraham, I have a projector that I have no use for, would you like it?” I said “No i don’t need it because we have no electricity in South Sudan” he replied “you don’t understand, this one uses solar system to charge and in addition it come with Jesus film in a back bag” to my surprise I run to Joseph Noel and told him “ you won’t believe what Just happen; there is a solar projector and we should be able to have in next two week...praise the LORD”.

Magwi & Torit First Outreach

Immediately we began planning the outreach and we divided South Sudan into four regions. And we picked up Western Equatoria to begin with and as soon as we received the solar projector we hit the road running to Magwi, then to Torit several times, then we hosted our first evangelism conference in Torit, then another civil war broke out in 2016.

Evacuation to USA 2016

Due to the civil war I was evacuated to the USA while Rev. Joseph Noel and Rev. Michael Aban remained in Juba and we though the ministry had stop there, then I met with my twin brother Josh Davis and had a very long conversation trying to catch up and the burning desire was re-ignited again to continue the ministry , so I called Joseph Noel and ask him how to continue the ministry and I specifically ask him to revisit our original plan of dividing the country into four regions and to make an effort to visit Bhar-Gazal region and see if we can shift there until other parts of the country become accessible by land due to insecurity.

First Wau Hope Outreach 2018

Indeed Joseph visited Wau in 2017 and return with the report that we can launch the ministry in greater Bhar-Gazal, immediately I asked him to begin planning and organizing for it, but he said what about the finance, you just arrived USA and you don’t have money , so I told him I have a saving from when I was working with Japanese Embassy in Juba we can use that money and so first Wau Hope Outreach was reborn in 2018 under the name ( South Sudan Evangelism & Discipleship Conference), to Reach, renew & revive every village and town in South Sudan and beyond through empowering churches to intentionally and deliberately re-engage in evangelism and discipleship .We train more than 100 leaders from different church, and different cities for four days , then sent them in multi-tribal teams for 7 days outreach to different villages accompanied by medical team as well as repairing any damages water bumps .

Proskuneo First visit to South Sudan 2020

In Feb.2020 Proskuneo team visited South Sudan to facilitate in Wau Hope Outreach and lead worship both in the conference and the crusade for the first time together with Abna-Kush praise & worship from Khartoum-Sudan and bishop Dr. Isaiah Deng Dau the overseer of South Sudan Pentecostal as well as Rev. Joseph Clement from Khartoum- Sudan.

Discipleship Listening groups (DLG)

Discipleship effort has been growing as we adopted the use of Oralty storytelling and using (the Torch) audio bible in the villages of Thorkuem, Woon-Rock, Ati-reo and in the city of Rumbek and Raja.

Future Vision

By the grace of God we currently have hired two paying staff (administration & finance and a discipleship coordinator both in Juba and Wau) and rented an office in juba that we are using as an office as well as a bookstore/library because it’s our prayer to provide the body of Christ with sound doctrine teachings and books for theology students as well as laymens in the church.

Among our future plans are to develop the land we bought a few years back into a private Christian vocational school , guest house together with a church that we can use as a training hub and conference center during summer and a place where missionaries are trained and equipped to cross over to Sudan to reach the Muslims.in addition we are planning to build a strong partnership with like minded churches and groups to further the gospel in South Sudan and beyond.

In addition we are planning and praying to buy Motorcycles to be used in between villages for discipleship as well as planning to buy a vehicle for logistics and transportation within the city.
