There has been quite a bit of interest in planting churches in this part of Africa. Evangelical Friends Church-Rwanda is already taking steps in that direction. EFC-MAYM is taking the lead in organizing some Luke 10 Trips that will help explore the next steps in launching that field.

South Sudan was recently approved by the EFM board as one of the new mission fields that EFM is committed to launching as a part of the Luke 10 Initiative and Five- Year Goal. You can read about the 2023 Exploration Trip here and the 2022 Exploration Trip here. In 2024, a Pre-Launch Planning trip took place in June and you can read that report here.

EFM is looking for passionate families and individuals who feel called to serve as missionaries in diverse cultural settings. If you are interested in learning more about serving in South Sudan, visit here.
