Sudanese Graduates of Uganda Baptist Seminary: A Good Investment

Sudanese Graduates of Uganda Baptist Seminary: A Good Investment

The picture to the left was sent to us by Edward Dima.  It is of women who are enrolled in a Bible school program carried out in the Bidibidi Camp of northern Uganda.  The class recently graduated, and Edward posted a video and pictures of the big celebration which attended that event on his Face Book account.

The class was started by two ladies whom CRM sponsored to attend the Uganda Baptist Seminary (UBS) of Jinja, Uganda.  The school recently posted a video on You Tube and its link is  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmBuqTocPSc&t=108s.  You can also visit the school's website at https://ugandabaptistseminary.org/  

The ladies who started this particular ministry are named Joyce and Rose.  They have also been helped by another lady CRM sponsored name Mary Yanga.  Two classes have now graduated from the school.  Given that most Sudanese women, historically speaking, have not been given the opportunity to attend school, this ministry is very special. 

With the help of partners, we began sponsoring Sudanese students to attend UBS back in 2012.  Since that time, we have lost track of how many have graduated and gone on to an effective ministry.  Those graduates are serving the Lord in Uganda, Kenya and South Sudan.  They all serve in hard places and among least reach people groups.  In a few days, I will have the privilege of visiting with some of them in Juba, and seeing with my own eyes the ministries they have carried out since 2014 in area IDP camps.

You can help us sponsor both current and future students.  You can do that by sending a check directly to the International Mission Board designated "For Uganda Baptist Seminary, sponsorship of Sudanese students."  You can also do that online at https://www.imb.org/give/ and use the same designation.


CRM also provides Bible training and leadership development for Sudanese women by carrying out training events on the ground in E. Africa.  You can help us fund our upcoming November event by donating to CRM, www.calvaryroadministries.com.  See the "donate" tab and choose "Giving for Going" and "While it Is Still Day."  Or send in a check to the supplied address.

Funding future church leaders for Sudan is a good investment.
