Missionary Profile
Mission:
After having successfully completed the one-year Torit Inbound Team training program with AIM and his M.Div. degree from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto, Jeffrey is returning to South Sudan (SSD) as a long-term missionary and serving as a Theological Educator. His main mission is to work with their national church partner, Africa Inland Church (AIC), and to restart this Imatong Bible School (IBS), which was destroyed during SSD’s independence war in the 90’s. He will play a key role in teaching classes, leading curriculum, and coordinating the efforts to bring more comprehensive theological resources for local pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders, who are serving across the Eastern Equatoria region of SSD and at the surrounding refugee camps. He has and will also continue to participating in other ministries, such as the prison ministry inside the Torit State Prison, a 60-week long program for training local missionaries, called Kingdom Builders School (KBS), a local orphanage, called Hope of Torit, and a local Christian radio station, called GRACE 90.5FM.
