Organizations Filed Purposes:
(1) Empowering South Sudanese communities to develop and flourish, (2) encouraging South Sudanese Christians to serve as missionaries to their own people, and (3) embracing South Sudanese and international partners in striving toward a common goal.
We exist to bring glory to God through the transformation of every village in South Sudan by the spread of the gospel and community development.
RADIO PROGRAM: Every Village continued the operations of our three radio stations ending the year with 17 total staff members. We also distributed 20,000 solar-powered radios which brought our total distributed all-time to 120,000. These radios are fixed-tuned to our stations and continue to significantly broaden the accessibility and popularity of our stations. We hosted our first annual pastors' conference at our station in Tonj which had 421 church leaders in attendance. We also hosted our fifth annual pastors conference at our station in Aweil and had around 1,000 pastors attend the two day conference. We held our third annual radio listener support campaign at this station and over two weeks we received support from almost 1,200 churches sending contributions from 40,600 church members of over 5 million South Sudanese Pounds (over $15,000).
WATER PROGRAM: Every Village drilled 7 new water wells in 2019 which took our total drilled all-time to 156. These water points meet an immediate physical need and provide us a stronger ministry platform within those communities. We also launched Phase 1 of a new spare parts and maintenance program. As a part of this new program, we facilitated the repair of 10 wells in 2019, and at the end of the year, we shipped our first inventory of spare parts that will be used to get high-priority wells back up and running in the future.
TRAINING PROGRAM: Every Village partnered with 4africa in Northern Uganda to send all six of our water staff to spend a one-month internship with their operations team. Half of our staff focused on learning the drilling operations and the other half learned about community engagement. We also provided a one week Bible training for our staff and regional pastors in March. Over 30 attendees received a certificate of completion. In June, we flew our 9 program managers out to Kampala for a one week leadership retreat. We discussed the vision and direction of the ministry and ways to increase the impact and sustainability of our programs.
