TOHRU AND CLAIRE INOUE are involved in the work in  Southern Sudan.

Tohru is Project Director for the various initiatives—a big responsibility;

Claire is personnel director as well as facilitator for a translation project.

Ever wonder what is happening to the missions movement outside of North America? For many years now there has been a powerful Latin American missions movement. There have also been churches in Africa who have been mobilized for global missions.
Traditional sending countries are no longer the only ones involved in the work of global missions.

About a decade ago several believers from Ethiopia visited a relatively closed country and this sparked a wonderful chain reaction of vision for the lost.  In our own context, missionaries from India, Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia have now been serving in Sudan for over a year.

Some of them joined the team in 2006. The heart of missions is strong in these countries which have taken up the work of the Gospel with people in far off lands.

Here, missionaries from India get an opportunity to share and be a part of the lives of Muslim women; missionaries from Nigeria have an opportunity to reach out through teaching; Kenyan missionaries mold the next generation through theological training; and Ethiopian missionaries reach out through discipleship and evangelism.

In order to facilitate this work Tohru has put together a project to help catalyze this work through a project called the “Sudan Harvest Worker.” Inspired from the Lord’s appeal to
have us pray for more harvest workers, its design is to see more missionaries from around the world join the great harvest work in Sudan.
