Thanks Jon for letting us share! Mine is SALAM- Sudanese Australian Life Assured Ministries- Rev. Richard. Jock is planning to start a hospital, school and orphanage in war torn South Sudan. He received this vision in the early 2000's, and has secured land to begin building, although costs are very high. Visit www.salam.org.au. Thank you and be blessed! Luke 4:18-19
