Spreading the Gospel

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!

Boys growing in their faith

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.

Strong church to offer growth

Stand firm

Pray that the believers who know the Lord among the Toposa will not fear the reproach of men (Isaiah 51:7-8), but will stand firm on the Word of God and live out their faith boldly in their communities.

Open their eyes

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).

Ending cattle raiding

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.

Young Toposa believer

Pray for E., a young Toposa believer who wants to spread the Gospel with his community. Pray that he will continue to grow in his faith and walk with Christ as he seeks to live a life based on the Truth of Bible.

Centre for the church

Pray for Magas to be a centre for the church, to be established by E. L., and believers to take the Gospel to the villages surrounding that area.

Provision for all

Pray that the Toposa would know their Lord and Savior is the ultimate provider. Pray for rain and provision of food and health for the animals.

2 Thessalonians 3:16

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)

Communications to share the Gospel

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.

Sharing the Gospel with soft hearts

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

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.

Changed hearts

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.

Open the eyes

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.

Psalm 63:1

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)

God as their Shepherd

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.

Soft hearts, responsive hearts

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.

Leaders and Multiplication

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.

Returning home

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.

Students away from home

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.

Update from others

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.

Schooling needs in the midst of unrest

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.

Cattle raiding

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.

Running the race

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.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

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.

Pray for provision of food for the Toposa

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.

Pray for rain for the Toposa

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.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

The Toposa are a strong and large people group in Eastern Equitoria, but majority live their lives without any knowledge at all of the Lord Jesus Christ. A few stalwart missionaries, pastors and believers live in the region conducting outreaches, teaching, bible storying among the people and communities that are open to them. Please pray for those that labour among them, that they may themselves be blessed so much by having the privilege of sharing the gospel and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ to the lost and dying.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

It is already dry and dusty and it is only the beginning of the dry season. Food is already very expensive and in short supply. Please pray that the ongoing revenge attacks on other tribes and from other tribes would come to an end. Drought, poor crops and revenge killings are all more than enough for the Toposa to need to turn to Christ. Pray this would be so.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

There is work going on among the Toposa, gospel work, which would certainly appreciate your prayers. Pray that those already established in ministry among the Toposa would not become discouraged. Pray for more workers to join together with the existing workers, all to aim to reach those who have never heard the wonderful message of salvation through Christ alone.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

During the summer months of both Europe and the United States, teams of people make themselves available to assist the missionaries on the ground with whatever is needed. This has been such a blessing to so many missionaries, but what a blessing and encouragement it is to the South Sudanese people who receive them. Praise God for the teams who have visited and helped the Toposa this summer. Pray that seeds that were planted would take root and grow in the hearts of those the seeds have been planted. Thank God for these teams and may many more come to this harvest field.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

Tension is easing after a time of fighting in the towns, between a couple of people groups causing many to flee and sleep in the bush at night. Pray that the gospel would be made known to not only the Toposa but other warring people’s in their area. Pray that peace would return in this troubled country.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

A group recently went to investigate areas where the Toposa live, and to investigate means to reach the Toposa and plant churches. Please pray that as this group, from various mission organisations, ponder ways and means, that God would guide and lead them in the way to move ahead. This is a large people group and they still remain UNREACHED!

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

Storying has been very successfully done among some of the Toposa. Praise God for His Word bearing fruit. A group of concerned people of various churches and mission organizations met the last week of January to discuss how to reach more of the Toposa, One man reported, “When I let prayer supporters know of a specific place, God starts to work. When I tell them of particular individuals needing prayer there, His works takes off!!” Pray for the Kenyan missionaries and their families involved in these storying ministries; ask God to supply all that they need, and give them much fruit for their labors!

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

God is partnering those called to reach the Toposa. United under Jesus Christ, with one goal – sharing the good news of Salvation in Christ. Pray for the workshop on storying the Bible ongoing at present. That eyes and hearts would be opened, even among those attending the course.

Update on The Toposa of South Sudan

There has been a lot of discourse between numerous mission organizations who have a heart to work together to reach the Toposa. Please pray that this new and encouraging attempt would come to fruition and that God in His grace, would use this to reach many for Him.
