Successful Completion of Two-Week Gospel Seminar in Greater Bahr el Ghazal Field – Wau
By Pr. Isaiah Malek Garang

Dear Friends



Praise the LORD God our Creator and Redeemer for all the blessings we enjoyed in Wau in the last 2 weeks, as I hope you have also received God’s blessings wherever you are.



I do appreciate Pr. William Kabi Oliver—President (Bishop) of the SDA Church in Greater Bahr el-Ghazal and his team, for inviting me to be part of two spiritual activities: (1) 14-days Gospel Seminar which ended with 112 souls who received the baptism of the Lord Jesus at Wau River, and 34 children blessed—dedicated to the LORD, (2) 2-years theological training of 42 Seminarians in Bahr el-Ghazal Adventist College (BAC), in which I taught “Basic Hermeneutics” a Course of 3 Credits.



I also appreciate the invitations to give encouraging words in three Schools: (1) Wau SDA Nur., & Pri., School (2) Standard Secondary School, and (3) Standard N., & Primary School.



Thanks to our government for ensuring peace in WBS. This is also a great support to the word of God, to be preached for nation-building. Besides going to heaven, this Word of God is uniting 64-Tribes into 1-PEOPLE “South Sudanese/nationals/junubiin”, with tribes/clans as good verities for society grouping, but not for negative divisions to the nation. Only to people with basic values of nationalism, such as: (1) morality, (2) love, (3) self-reliance and (4) unity; PEOPLE who lives in the TRIANGLE-LOVE, as the Lord Jesus said, “Love the LORD your God… love your neighbor, as [you love] yourself” (Mt 22:34 – 40)



So, let’s ALL join in building our nation by preaching these positive values, such that our people enjoy the blessings of God, even in this life, leave alone the life to-come.



Finally, it was a blessing to be back and fellowship with the people of God in my former leadership’s region. May the LORD bless the SAINTS abundantly to be a blessing to the nation: with peace, health and unity; and to prepare themselves and others for the soon return of our Lord and King Jesus Christ, as He said: “Yes, I am coming soon. Amen! Even so, come Lord Jesus.” (Rev 22:200



Be blessed and be a blessing to others.



Dear SSUM Staffs,



Our goal of doubling membership from 85,000 to 170,000 in 2030, can be break-down to add 17,000 members a year. For this year, we baptized 2,695 last Quarter. So, we remain with 14,305 for this 2026. This requires more commitment from the Churches.
