Strategy and Goals

1. To fast track the social re-development in war torn Southern Sudan of Indigenous tribal societies.
2. To establish these tribal societies on a Christian basis as an independent nation seceding from the nationalistic repression of the Islamic North. This is accomplished by developing a emerging Spirit Filled movement of evangelism to the 34 un-reached tribes of the South, and comprehensive in-reach to Islam.

RESTORING PEOPLE


Lifestreams Sudan's first focus of operation has been people. Our work has centered on education, medical assistance, food assitance, and vocational training. We have worked with refugees at Kakuma camp in offering basic mission education. We have also taken trips into various areas of Southern Sudan to provide relief supplies and medical assistance.

The “Lost Boys of War” - our preparation pool for missions activity consists mostly of a male youth population that was under planned genocide by Northern Sudan. Northern Sudan's strategy from Khartoum’s’ Islamic warfare in the 1980’s is to eliminate the resistant indigenous people of the south of the ability to resist the invasion of Islam. This youth population was mostly under the age of 12 years of age.

The refugee camp in northwest Kenya was establish by UN involvement making it the only holding camp that provided education in English from K-12. It was originally established for some thirty thousand Sudanese fleeing the genocide of their indigenous homeland in the flood plain of the Nile.

From this population, we now have a pool of over six hundred graduates of a missions-oriented higher education. These graduates are now in their twenties and thirties and are the potential bridge to social-development through interaction with the indigenous population left inside of Southern Sudan which has been fractured by 54 years of Islamic oppression and genocide.

The training center that has been established in the Kakuma Refugee camp, Kenya, is a model of individual restoration. The training is set in a full Gospel context and provides a strategic understanding for influencing specific tribal groupings from the inside out. This results in restoration of the family, from the personal damage of war, development of a social-economic structure to relieve regional poverty and despair, and promote tribal solidarity within the complex structures of indigenous life in South Sudan.

RELEASING MISSIONS


Phase One Training Completed

Lifestreams International has accomplished Phase One- training in developing a “missions labor pool” out of indigenous tribal groups of the Sudan. These specialists having command of English, Classic Arabic, and multiple dialects, of which 34 are virtually unwritten, and are prepared to “do the work of the evangelist” and influence closed tribal groups to consolidate towards the potential of becoming ‘New Sudan, a sovereign nation under self determination.

At the end of WWII the American Command appealed to the Church to send missionaries into Japan to influence their need of social-restructure. There was virtually no response from the fractured church world as a whole, which could have created a very different world climate through the time sensitive process of that country. Southern Sudan stands with a potential to become a Christian nation, not dominated by Islamic oppression and fatalism, but as an influence into the Islamic population and tribal population that have been under the systematic oppression of Muslim domination.
