MY STORY AND MY NEEDS
By Frezer Mustafa Badi, NGCS
To begin with back in South Sudan, I
lived in Yei County of central Equatoria state with my family members where I was
working in our home clinic. Due to growing of insecurity in the country, I
personally left South Sudan in the year 2016/07/07 up to date due to civil war
in the country that had displayed over millions and claimed over thousands
lives of south Sudanese citizens based on killing and torturing of innocent
people by the government soldiers and rebel soldiers where it caused panic and
fear in the hearts of people.
I final decided to cross to Congo first
before coming to Uganda where i moved on foot from Yei town to Congo through
the bush after escaping a narrow death after leaving my house in the evening
some group of gunmen reached to my house to attack me but the good thing, I
left early they only collect my belonging that night and they killed our close
neighbors that same night but God was on my side
After staying in Congo for six months
later some of my brothers joined me there then we planned to leave from Congo
to the border with Uganda where there are registering refugees. After
registration we were taken to a refugee settlement of Palorinya under Obongi
district but still in the camp has time go by life wasn’t easy depending on
food from UNCHR eight kgs per person for one month sometimes we finished before
the end of the month! We only survived by grace of God without parents that was
in the year 2017. By this time, I was studying the word of God through WBS
under the study help of Brant Gaddi.
After going through all the lessons, I wanted to be baptized. I was
directed to one, Achan who immersed me into Christ on January 30th,
2018, in the refugee camp. I live to remember this day.
In 2018, connected
my brother Amos Alemi with world Bible school. We started attending services in
Jerusalem under church of Christ located in morobi zone three camp tank 26. So,
after he finished WBS lessons and baptized, he had a chance of coming to study
in Kenya through his study helper when he was coming, he left in the camp as I
continue struggling with life alone but God was graceful. I was employed in one
of the organizations under medical sector where I work as Nurse aid in the
camp.
Early 2021, I
asked my brother Amos Brother Amos if I could join him at NGCS to study the
word of God together. Amos tabled my request before the NGCS Principal, of a
man from Uganda to come and study the word of God. I take it positively because he is my savior
and sustain in the camp, my request was approved by the Principal of Nairobi
Great Commission School for me to be here. But the challenge was that there was
no passport to cross the border of Uganda and Kenya. But when I asked him, he
helped me by connecting me with one of his friends working in migration office
in the border he helped me to cross to Kenya via Busia border line to reach
safely in Nairobi without disturbance. That is briefly how I came to be in Nairobi
Great Commission School today. I think the East African community Spirit works
here.
About my relatives
most of them are in South Sudan, but a few are in Uganda side of West Nile
Region Koboko and Arua district. My daddy and mom I left in South Sudan with
some of my brothers and a sister. My parents are not educated due to insecurity
in the country. It was unfortunate my father got accident in the year 1996,
when I was about three years he was shot by a gunman on his left leg. Later on,
he was brought to Kenya for further treatment where it led to one of his legs
to be imputed, he survives with one leg. We thought that will be his last day to
breath but God was great to him. That left him as disable person right now
which leads to some of brothers not to have access to school with me and one of
my brothers our Aunty help us to bring
us in her home in Uganda to have access to studies. Early this year that aunty
of mine passed away when I was already here in Nairobi. Just after a week later, my nephew was shot
dead by some groups of gunmen within South Sudan in Yei County.
That is few
information about my relatives.
My need for the training in Bible
and mission at NGCS is to:
1.
To
be fully equipped for the ministry that God has called me to serve
2.
To
nurture me and develop in God’s word.
3.
To
have good knowledge about doctrine of the Bible which will enable me to defend
the word of God with biblical knowledge
4.
To
learn more about how to win souls to Christ because without training you will
always miss how to approach people in the community and beyond.
5.
To
give a healthy message to unreached people about the kingdom of God and the
important of been born again in Christ. With this few are priority to my
ministry.
Followed by my
future plans after here Nairobi Great Commission Great School if I will have
someone to support me, I need to continue with theology up to degree. To be
missionary in future to meet many other people across the world with the Gospel
that is my heart to serve God faithfully in the future plans based on the
knowledge to work with other people in the ministry. Not only that in the
future I need to see majority of my family members getting saved that is my
prayers for now based on my trust in the Lord. In the future I also plan to do
other courses that will help me in ministry because I love to serve life of
people especially in medical where I have knowledge about it. In future, I need
to have theological seminary school in South Sudan and clinic which will help us
to do missionary work effectively.
MY VISION BACK
IN SOUTH SUDAN OR UGANDA.
1.
My
vision in Uganda and South Sudan is to see majority of the people reached with
the Gospel.
2.
To
have a big team that will always be ready to go out for mission.
3.
My
vision is to have partners to do ministry work with them.
4.
My
vision is to plant churches around Uganda and South Sudan.
MY CURRENT NEEDS IN HERE IN THE SCHOOL.
1.
Dressing
coat which includes clothes and shoes
2.
Computer
3.
Bag
for keeping my properties safe
4.
Money
for Personal effects. Those are the financial support that you may help with if
possible.
There’s need for psychological advice,
sometimes I over think about my young brothers back in South Sudan how to help them
to go to school. It has real tortures my life. I need to see them in school
because there are still in a war zone.
For the one who will read this short story
about my life be blessed.
