My heart is filled with joy on this day! It is days like this one that help Carol and me forget the hardships of living away from family, good friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and our loving, home sending church. With a heart full of joy I have been moved to share these answers to prayers. I wanted your hearts to be encouraged as well!

First, our granddaughter Clara has been released from the hospital and is doing so much better. A big thank you to all of you who prayed. Please continue to pray for my dad who remains in hospice care.

Second, I have news of two examples of 2 Timothy 2:2 being walked out with two of our Sudanese brothers, Salah Hamed from Western Nuba Mountains Sudan and Joshua Abraham from Darfur Sudan. They are both first generation Christians from tribes which are nearly 100% Muslim.

They are, what I call refugees twice-removed, meaning they had to leave their homes to a camp in South Sudan and, when war broke out in South Sudan, they had to flee  again to a camp here in Uganda near us. During their time in Bidi-bidi resettlement camp they participated in a number of training modules over several years at Reaching Africa’s Unreached (RAU) in the Hall of Tyrannus. I will never forget what Salah told me without complaint one time here on the RAU campus, “I know why I am here Uganda, it is to be stronger in the Word of God so I can go back to my tribe which is 99% Muslim.” I know that to be Joshua’s heart as well.

Salah is now back in Western Nuba Mountains proclaiming the gospel and helping raise up leaders to shepherd the new believers In the picture he is with one from the Gulud tribe who has just trusted in Christ alone for salvation. The Gulud tribe, according to the Joshua project, is 99.5% Muslim. 

This  picture below is the  the fourth group that Joshua Abraham has led through a series of book studies in the nearby refugee resettlement camp of Bidi-bidi. The books were all provided by RAU. In 2022 he facilitated two groups of Sudanese and, in 2023, another two groups, totaling 60 Sudanese.

The first two videos below were done 4 years ago at RAU  with Salah, Joshua and Absalah Kori. I love these brothers with whom we work closely. Sadly, the recent war in North Sudan has “temporarily” slowed the work…just from a human perspective, though.    

This last video  is from about 10 months ago just before the recent conflict broke out in North Sudan. 

Your prayers and support have helped RAU host close to fifty 5-10 day training modules in RAU’s Hall of Tyrannus since Carol’s and my full-time move to RAU in 2013. Carol and I are very grateful for your prayers, words of encouragement, and support. As we close the year we ask for your prayers and financial support for the ministry of Reaching Africa’s Unreached. Together we will, by God’s grace, press on as ambassadors of Christ! 

Please pray for us and all we co-labor with in walking out 2 Timothy 2:2 in our Sub-Saharan/East African area! 

What we do now in the Lord and for Him will echo throughout eternity for His praise and honor….all else is dust in the wind!

With Appreciation,

Jacob and Carol Lee

“It is our conviction that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation” (Romans 1:16) and we have been entrusted to proclaim it passionately and rightly. Our dependence is upon the Holy Spirit for the power to preach, teach, live and endure all things for the sake of the elect. (1 Timothy 2:10). As Christians, we are called to lay down our lives so that the Gospel will be preached to all. As ones who are confident in God’s sovereignty and passionate for His glory we seek to reach the many that have never heard of the Savior and His work of reconciliation. We understand that this work cannot be accomplished in our own strength but only through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. The means He uses in His people are cross-centered living, sacrificial and loving service, Bible-soaked preaching/teaching, fervent intercessory prayer, and Christ-likeness.” (From Reaching Africa’s Unreached (RAU) Vision Statement)
