Field work is heavy, ONMI needs reinforcement and encouragement.
Shalom to you, my fellow co-laborers in the Great Commission. I extend warm greetings to you in the name that is above all names, Yeshua. It is with great joy and a sense of urgency that I connect with you, as we share a common mission that transcends borders and cultures, united by our faith and commitment to spreading the message of hope and love.
As we delve deeper into our endeavors, it has become increasingly evident that the field work being conducted by ONMI is not only extensive but also demanding in nature. This work requires not just a commitment of time and effort, but also significant dedication and resources from every individual involved. Our overarching goal is nothing short of a complete revitalization of our initiatives, aiming for an ultimate sustainability that empowers communities and fosters lasting change. We envision a future where our efforts yield self-sufficient communities capable of thriving independently.
Spreading the Gospel: A Mission of Hope and Transformation
In the midst of these significant developments and ongoing changes in our lives and communities, we find ourselves completely dedicated to the noble mission of preaching the Gospel and spreading the Good News to all who will listen. Sarah and I have been blessed with numerous invitations to share the word of God in a variety of communities, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities for growth in faith. It is a profound privilege to engage with individuals and families, to listen to their stories, and to share the transformative message of hope and love that the Gospel offers. The Gospel is indeed moving forward, reaching hearts and minds, igniting a passion for faith in those who may have never encountered such a message before. As Yeshua told them, we are called to go forth into the world, making disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe all that He has commanded us. This divine commission inspires us to continue our journey, spreading the light of Messiah in every corner we can reach, fostering a sense of community and belonging among believers and seekers alike. We are witnessing the power of the Gospel at work, transforming lives, healing wounds, and bringing people together in a shared purpose of faith and love.
Yeshua told the Disciples "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field

Progress and Transformations in ONMI's 2021-2025 Sustainability Plan- Harvesting Yam
Last year's sustainability effort has made some notable progress towards our overarching goal, which is to successfully fulfill the objectives outlined in ONMI's ambitious development plan that spans from 2021 to 2025. This plan is not merely a set of goals but a comprehensive roadmap designed to enhance the self-reliance of the communities we serve. I do fervently pray and ask for your unwavering support and encouragement as we continue on this challenging yet rewarding journey. We are witnessing fundamental changes that are shaping ONMI's self-reliance initiatives, including innovative approaches to resource management, community engagement, and capacity building. These transformations are crucial as they not only empower local populations but also foster a sense of ownership and responsibility towards sustainable practices. Your continued backing is essential for us to maintain momentum and to ensure that these initiatives not only thrive but also expand, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and resilient future for all involved.
Empowering Food Security Through Local Resources in South Sudan
Food Security is another critical area of focus. We aim to supply our community with food by utilizing the abundant resources of South Sudan, including land, people, seeds, and tools, to combat hunger and reduce our dependence on imported food from abroad. We believe that self-sufficiency in food production is vital for our nation's future.
- Water Supplies are essential for life. We are committed to providing clean water to our community, recognizing that access to safe drinking water is fundamental to health and well-being.
ONMI field vehicles need replacement. UN is auctioning 3 vehicles for $33,000.
