Nyinbuli
In an extremely remote village in South Sudan, hundreds of thousands of children were on the brink of death from starvation and disease. When Safe Harbor began its “Operation Restore Life” project in 2003 there were 22,000 local people in this area and only 1 well. In this village, soldiers came through torturing and killing anyone that crossed their path. God allowed Safe Harbor to continue ministry through 2009 and the work continues on today through “Scattered Seeds” a ministry with International Aid Services, formerly with Safe Harbor International. Some of the ministry highlights are:
- Tens of thousands of metric tons of food were delivered to the people
- Seeds were provided for crops
- Missionaries accepted the call to live among the people there, who now call this village their home, and the people their family
- Wells were drilled
- A medical clinic was built
Rebecca Awok Deng (Kusunoki) is a living testimony of both the severity of persecution in the Sudan as well as the incredible grace of God who continually ministers to the least, the last and the lost. Rebecca was brought up in Nyinbuli, and eventually adopted by the family of Safe Harbor founder, Gary Kusunoki.
