Approaching harvest as weeding is now done.

we are grateful to share with this new development. Slowly but surely, individuals are beginning to take responsibility for their lives, getting out of the refugee camps and returning to their home land.

We just want to share with you some amazing report of what the Lord is doing in South Sudan. The bountifulness of the Beth Israel Farmland and Borongole mission compound. Today as I'm sharing this field report to you, the Lord has answered our prayers. We did not only succeeded in getting the funds needed to do the weeding for hundreds of acres, but we have received 11 women to do the weeding, four of which returned directly from the Ugandan refugees camp back home to South Sudan. Thank God! God is faithful. The year 2017 has been a year of bountiful blessings with so many wonderful accomplishments from the Lord in the midst of so many challenges. ... Giving us the faith and the opportunity to serve the Lord and His people through Operation Nehemiah Missions. The last time we shared with you at the beginning of October, we were praying for workers to help us with weeding at the Beth Israel Farmland and in Borongole Mission headquarters.

While UN predicts that thousands of South Sudanese children will be starving to death, in 2017, Operation Nehemiah is actually doing something about it by creating a conducive environment to bring people back from the refugee camp to raise food by themselves to feed themselves and create food bank to address the long term solution to food shortage and establish food bank for the country.
