Pray for the student activities planned for the school break. Student disciples are being followed up in the villages. Pray for effective ministry.

The ‘fire churches’ (groups meeting around the fire) are doing well under the care of the disciples. We thank God because they are growing spiritually too. We have two new churches planted in Kaldo area. Some have put a temporary shed to enable them to pray under it especially during this raining season and also to have a shelter during the day heat when they do their discipleship meeting. Lucino is meeting his group every Thursday. Also other disciples have their meeting days and all gather on Sunday morning at their various churches. Pray the disciples would grow strong and many would be added to their number as Christ builds His church among the Toposa!

The Outreach Team went to one of the remote Toposa villages where the persecution of new believers has been intense. The new believers gathered 500 Toposa to come for worship, singing and dancing. One of the new believers challenged the group to come forward with any information for WHY the Outreach Team should not be sharing Jesus in their villages. She spoke for 20 minutes and no one came forward. As a result, they all agreed that the “sharing of Jesus” would go forward without interruption. Pray for much fruit!

This is from Kenyan missionary John working with the Toposa: Thank you for praying. We had a good trip to Narus. We did some training and visited villages where our disciples are reaching- Napeikeny, lopua and Kokoro. Many have been led to Christ and they are being discipled to reach others.

There is a new group of younger guys being discipled in Kapoeta. Pray they will also be taking the Gospel out to unreached villages amongst Toposa.

Jie is one of the most unreached people that share similar culture and language dialect with Toposa. We had a survey trip in April for Jie Lopeat and we found one of the greatest needs is water.
John, one of the Kenyan missionaries working among the Toposa, got information that Jie of Lopeat have sought refuge among the Toposa of Mogos, 35km away, in order to get water. The dam that was helping them has since dried up.
Pray for them and that peace will prevail between them and Toposa. Historically they used to fight and steal cattle but peace was made some time last year. However, they still they get their animals stolen.

Pray for our missionary team who are going to live among the Toposa for a long term mission work together with their families. Their names are Julius and Pasquina Magu, Mark and Lonah Keter, Isaiah and Nida Bwala, and Mary Nachii. Most of them are relocating this week to various places among the Toposa. And they will be reaching the Jie, and other unreached communities. Pray for all missionaries and people involved in reaching out with discipleship among the Toposa.

Pray for more workers to come among the Toposa; one missionary said, “come quickly the time is now.” Pray that God would guide the right people, whether expats or nationals, to reach out to the lost Toposa.

Many Toposa are responding to the Gospel, missionaries are seeing the Spirit work and many are coming to Christ, previously hostile villages are now asking for the church to come and share. In Kapoeta, local disciples are taking the Gospel to numerous villages and continuing to follow up with the local leaders every week, pray that many will coming to saving faith.

Pray for Naliel and the missionary team coming to the area. Toposa disciples want to start 42 more churches in the area by the end of the year. Pray!

The Jesus Film is being shown  regularly in Toposa villages, and  there has been a great turn out in each place to see the film. Pray that those who see the film respond to the Gospel, and that there will be open doors for the Message to spread.

Africa Inland Church (AIC) is currently focusing on four areas where they are evangelizing: Mogos, Lotien, Riwotoo and Kapoeta Town. Mission leaders are being trained to plant churches and to equip new believers to share their faith. Their hope is that there will be an evangelist focused on teaching Bible stories in every Toposa village. Pray that the Word grows deep roots in the hearts of believers and that they are bold to share their faith.

Believers are being trained to share their faith in other villages- pray for their protection and provision as they go to more remote locations where the Gospel has not spread yet. Pray that God would go before them and prepare the hearts of those who will hear the Good News to believe it!

There are several Toposa boys who are in Torit for secondary school – pray they would grow in their faith while they have a strong church in Torit around them and that they would be able to share their faith with their classmates throughout the school year.

The Toposa were created for a great purpose in the Kingdom of God. Pray that one day they will be able to see that they were created by God like clay formed by a potter’s hand (Isaiah 64:8).

Cattle raiding (stealing cattle from another group) is a frequent practice among the Toposa and their neighbours, and often this practice claims lives on both sides of the fight. Pray that the Gospel will come to those who have never heard it and that practices like cattle raiding will be ended.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give the Toposa and the missionaries working amongst them peace at all times in every way: both physical peace with their neighbours and spiritual peace with God. The Lord be with them all, drawing them into His presence (2 Thessalonians 3:16)

Pray for phone network to return to the area and believers in Kapoeta to continue to share the Gospel to each village. There is a strong group of youth focused on this currently.

Pray for the few believers among the Toposa – that they hold fast to the Truth of God’s Word and share that Truth with their neighbours, friends, and family. Pray for soft hearts of those who hear the Gospel so that they will receive the Good News that is shared with them.

Food insecurity rises as the dry season continues and many are worried their loved ones, especially the children and elderly, will perish from starvation. Pray that those who need food the most will get it, and that the Toposa will see and give the credit to God’s grace and love for them.

Pray the Toposa would have their hearts changed and they would become connected to the vine (John 15). Pray that they would become a people group that bears great fruit for the Kingdom of God.

Since the creation of the world, God has been drawing people, including the Toposa, to Himself. Ask God to open the eyes of the Toposa so that they would see God’s handiwork and turn to Him.

Pray that the Toposa community would one day be able to say “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1)

The Toposa raise, look after, guide, and protect their cattle- they understand shepherding. Pray that the Good Shepherd will find them, and  take care of them and guide their hearts to embrace Him.

Ask God to soften the hearts of the Toposa to hear the Gospel and respond to it. Pray that they become passionate for the Word of God and are eager to share it with others.

Pray for God to call more Toposa Christian leaders to strengthen and cause growth in churches in villages that will result in multiplication. Pray for unity among Toposa church leaders in unreached villages in remote areas.

Pray that as the Toposa students return home during the holidays that they would be a strong witness for the gospel and that they would continue to share the gospel even while facing persecution.

Please pray for Toposa students that are studying in Torit. Pray that their hearts would be so impacted by the gospel, they would be compelled by the love of Christ to take the gospel back to their home village in the Toposa area called Mogos.

AWESOME Toposa worship today. The physical size of the church in Kapoeta has more than quadrupled. And it was packed with Toposa women. No men. About half of them are the result of a new church plant last year. The young Toposa leaders love Discipleship. Their joy and love of the Lord is contagious.

Pray for the 3 Toposa boys studying in Torit. They just finished their yearly exams. They are considering whether to continue studying in Torit, or whether they should find a school closer to home where its safer. Pray they would grow strong in the Lord wherever they are. Continue to pray for peace in South Sudan.

As the start of the dry season is upon us, please pray that the constant raiding and killing would stop,  and not increase as it usually does at this time of the year. Pray that the gospel would penetrate deeply into hearts to change the Toposa from the inside out.

It is exciting that the Toposa are being reached by many church teams who come at the invitation of missionaries. Please pray that all those who hear the gospel message may grasp it with both hands, run with it, and make it known among their own people.

South Sudan is experiencing so much turmoil, as conflict continues to be the main topic on everyone’s mind. Hunger follows shortly behind, and although we have asked for prayer for this before, it is now even more of an issue for the people of SS, including the Toposa. Please pray.

As in the whole of South Sudan, there is great numbers of people suffering with hunger. The predictions for this country for starvation are alarming. Please pray for the Toposa to not only be able to get enough food, but that they would humble themselves, as the Lord says in 2Chronicles 7:14 So that the Lord would hear and forgive their sins and heal the land.

The dry season has been particularly tough this year, the heat, dust and dryness causing much hardship. Please pray that the life giving rains would start soon and be a good rainy season. But more importantly that they would turn to the One who can give water that will cause them to never be thirsty again.
