Hope Christian School
After the Civil War, many redeemed slaves returned with nowhere to go. CLIM sponsored a community effort to build an elementary and middle school to house, feed, and educate these children near The Mustard Seed Clinic.
Today, the school educates 320 scholars and continues to expand, run by a young man who himself received education through CLIM’s sponsorship.
Mustard Seed Medical Clinic
Opened in Akuak Rak in 2008, this was the first permanent structure in the area. It serves ~10,000 people annually, treating malaria, malnutrition, and more.
CLIM pays for medical workers’ salaries, training, equipment, and medicine so that anyone coming to the clinic may receive medical treatment for free.
Scholarships for Secondary Students
CLIM provides scholarships for promising secondary students. Many of these scholars have returned to South Sudan to help their people, including Hope Christian School’s principal.
Scholarships for Pastors
CLIM provides scholarships for South Sudanese pastors to attend Bible College. Since its founding, CLIM has contributed to the training of 15 pastors, many of whom were Lost Boys. Two have become archdeacons and another a bishop.
Agricultural Support
CLIM has partnered with other ministry groups to help the village of Akuak Rak develop sustainable sources for food. CLIM has sponsored seeds and consulting for irrigation practices and other partners have sponsored cattle to be raised in the village.
Outreach to Muslim Darfurians
Where the people of Akuak Rak once feared neighbors who attacked them, now they reach out to extend medical care, Bibles, and canvas tents to bless the Darfurians.
