God calls us to be Light in a World governed by Deception, Greed, and Wars.
Shalom to you my co-laborers in the Great Commission. Thank you so much for your tenacious prayers and support. Your participation in the work of ONMI has been uplifting and encouraging on every front. I will be embarking on one-month Mission trip to South from May 1- May 31. This is my annual mission visit to the South Sudan to validate and update you on all the effort you have been putting forth to push us forward in 2022. I ask you to pray for my family and the families of our field staff for God's protection and continuum provision.
Thank you so much the support.
We have closed the month of March very successfully and all the fund we laid before the Lord have come through to manage the work, we have achieved below. Now we are in April 2022, you will find below the outline of the budget for this month. Join us in prayer to provide for this month. We are taking every step by faith, and one day at a time. Even as we are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. This is not the time to shrink back in the world we live in full of uncertainty. We serve a Living God in Yeshua who is Omnipresence. Therefore, let us rise and shine a child of light in the world whose author is God not Satan. In this assertion of truth, we can have faith and confident. So, we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:6
On the downside, in March, we caught a thief who had been stealing electrical wire supplying water to NTC 97.3 FM at ONMI's Yerushalayim Summit on Gordon Mountain. This happened 5 times. But finally, he was apprehended. We ask you to join us in prayer for his salvation and restoration, it is not in our desire to see him go to prison but he broke the law and the court charged him for a crime. We received the fund to restore the water system, but we also need prayer for wisdom how to go about securing the cable for the long term.
Next move: Considering that Bethlehem Primary and Nurse School building is almost done, we are moving forward to laying the foundation of the Nile Beth Israel Messianic Congregation (Kehillah) and Nehemiah Field Teaching hospital as an integral part of Nehemiah Poly Technic Institute (NPI)
Raising up spiritual adults: In ONMI, it has been our desire with your support to put God first and be Good biblical steward of the resources entrusted by God through the donors, strong spiritual leadership both in the USA and South Sudan Integrity, transparence Unity & faithfulness to procure His work.
ONMI's Vision and goal for 2021- 2025 is on track to anchor itself as a successful mission that has for the past 28 years with your benevolent support has raised up Spiritual adults among South Sudanese national who are no longer spiritual juveniles, but mature and responsible beneficiaries making some fundamental transformation for themselves, their families, churches, and wellbeing of their social, and economic community. They are contributing to the cause of the Great Commission.
Our work in South Sudan defies logic of popular ideas embraced by the world through the entrenchment of United Nation High Commissioner for refugee’s global Agenda 21 which thrives on herding war displaced refugees into displaced camps in other countries. They keep them there on relief dependence without an end. It trains beleaguered war-ravaged women and girls into global militant feminist movement, and they train men and young men to become emasculated, lazy, and useless. We live in a world governed by greed and wars. War generates human suffering, displacement, refugee crisis, loss of lives of innocent and ordinary citizens. But in the midst of it all, Yeshua calls us to be peace makers, salt and light, as city on a hill that can't be hidden.
Even in dry season, we are keeping it going.
Couple years back, all these trees were bought and imported from Uganda but now, with your support we have Nehemiah Nursery bed producing all the fruit trees we need from within the country. thank to you for your generosity.

Continue Prayer for Ukraine and Russia: Within a month, the Russian induced war on Ukraine, while the World watches with little to no intervention has displaced 2 million Ukrainians to Poland and several millions into European Union. However, the Polish government and her people are doing something that has not been thought before dealing with refugees. This could rattle and ravel the UNHCR global agenda of herding people into refugees’ camps like cattle. The Polish citizens are taking upon themselves to receive Ukrainian refugees as their temporary family guests, taking them into their homes. They house them, provide them with works to support themselves. Unlike the people flooding our southern borders and coming into the USA without being pushed out of their countries by war. These people are true victims of war. So, when the war ends in Ukraine, the people will return to their home country without losing their human dignity and they won’t be turned into militant global feminists nor useless emasculated men.
You are Helping ONMI to help South Sudanese retain their Human Dignity.
In South Sudan, with your encouragement and financial support ONMI is exactly doing everything within our power to keep the human dignity of South Sudanese returning home from exiles intact as they are looking forward to rebuilding their lives from the ashes of war and displacement. In Contrast to UNHCR, our strategic is very simple, and straight forward, recognize and preserve their human dignity, give them the tools and let them do it. It is far cost effective keeping in their home country if they can go back and want to go back than herding people into the camps and resettlement program abroad.
Homeland return and Gospel outreach to the community of Mugali
Progress on Bethlehem Primary school construction: Iam very thrilled to give you some progressive updates on the status of Bethlehem Primary school in real time. The Lord has provided all the funding needed for ONMI to complete the construction of this school. We are on track to get the school completed by the end of this month. Our field staff have the hearts, the determination and commitment to get the job done. Construction is currently concentrated on the second level of the building. Our ground leadership team has been frugal with your benevolent support.
We are making our own windows and doors to save money and time. This is the approach we are applying to give the community a multi-tasking opportunity to engage in entrepreneurial mind set. Making our own windows and doors, trains workers to learn welding skills.
We are also building septic system to address indoor sanitation problem by establishing flush toilet and removing pit latrine which attracts snakes, mosquitos, scorpions, rats, and termites.
Illustration: Place, Luzira, Mugali sub county, EE State South Sudan. This is the Nile Beth Israel Messianic Congregation under Messianic leadership of Pastor Thomas. This congregation was established in the middle of South Sudan's national crisis in 2018. At the backdrop of this preparation, most of the community in the region fled to Uganda, Pastor Thomas answered the call of God along with six other pastors including Pastor Timothy Levi, the current country Director of Operation Nehemiah to be ordained into pastorship and return to their home country to serve the community inside South Sudan, a place that was considered a war zone. Now 3 years later, the church (Kehillah, eckleziah) has grown in leaps and bounds. It only demonstrates that obedience is better than sacrifice. When Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, he asked his father, here is the altar and the fire, where is the sacrifice? Abraham answered in faith, God will provide the lamb. Both Isaac and his father respectively obeyed God. One obeyed God to offer his only son and the other, the son, willingly obeyed to be that sacrifice on the burning Altar. God provided the lamb and validated the faith.
You may be called to minister to an empty church, and a deserted country, a war zone. The same question will arise, where is the people and where is the church building, the water. food, road, transport, medicine?
Do not worry, God will provide the believers and roof over your head and all your needs in his riches and glory.
Just obey the calling voice of God, arise, and go. This could be your Nineveh! That was exactly what Pastor Thomas and his people in Mugali ask ONMI to do. Pastor Thomas asked ONMI after his ordination to send him to start a church in his village and he surrendered a piece of his family land for that effort. Yes, ONMI responded to help him. The rest is a living history and testimonies. This Sunday, Pastor Timothy Levi visited the congregation and I went there 3 times and this is the fruit of the visit.
Do not reject your calling. God will bless you if you obey.
The Gospel must go forward irrespective of seasons, political and economic climatic changes taking place in uncertain world. Yeshua is our un sunk Commander in Chief. He will calm the storm and safely stabilize the ship.
2 Timothy 4.
