Training Transforms Pastor and Church in Sudan

Sudanese Christian pastor wearing a white dress shirt preaches to his congregation from the pulpit with another brother standing next to him

Three months after arriving at a seminary in the Middle East, a student already working as an assistant pastor wanted to drop out and return to his troubled congregation in Sudan. “But every time I prayed about it, the Lord would tell me in one way or another to do my best and persevere, so I did,” he said. When he returned to a church that was rife with conflict and low on evangelistic zeal, he was a different man eager to help his congregation become a different fellowship.
