International Projects Bridges to Sudan will be helping with different areas of need in the Sudan.  We will have the ability to partner with NGOs (Non-governmental organizations) and other Christian mission groups that take trips to different regions in the Sudan. We aim to teach the local people how to do things that will help them become more self-sufficient so they can continue with relief efforts independently as their villages are rebuilt. We will encourage Sudanese to be the ones who do the training as they are best suited to know their own people and the needs.  We will walk beside them and guide in areas that are unique to our culture but could help in their own peoples’ lives.  Areas of speciality, like locating water, will be done by professionals who want to assist with these efforts. This includes but is not limited to: WATER ISSUES Sudan kids at water pump MEDICAL RELIEF 2007 - $7500 of medical supplies shipped to the village of Akoc Bona Panek inside hut with medical supplies SOCIAL & EDUCATIONAL ISSUES School Uniforms that were purchased in 2004 - first trip to southern Sudan United Christian School in Juba WOMEN'S ISSUES Sharon in Akoc, Bahr EL Ghazel, sharing with two mothers of Lost Boys who live in Jacksonville Women have many creative skills, like stitchery shown above SERVING WITH CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE ALWAYS Nihal Mayer a Lost Boy from Jacksonville, serving overseas in the U.S. Army Luke 10:2  ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send workers into His harvest field’
