On July 9, 2011, South Sudan became the worlds newest nationdeclaring independence from neighboring Sudan. The celebrated secession, however, didnt bring a cure to the economic hardship, inaccessible clean water, miniscule literacy rate, and limited knowledge about Jesus. A vast country with virtually no infrastructure, South Sudan is a war-torn place thats easily forgotten.

But God remembers the South Sudanese, and He is growing a movement of people who are passionate about reaching every village with His hope and love.

Every Village is an amazing organization which is slowly transforming the nation of South Sudan.  Less than 50% of the South Sudanese have access to clean water and the illiteracy rate is high.  To address these challenges, Every Village is drilling water wells throughout the country in the areas clean water is needed most.  They are also building a radio network which broadcasts Bible stories, health and hygiene training, news, educational programming, all in the local language.

By supporting me in the Run for Radios 5k, you'll also be supporting this amazing organization as they continue to impact the country of South Sudan, one village at a time.
