The Role of the Church in Nation Building Moses Deng Bol

After a lifetime of waiting and war, we finally watched as the flag of South Sudan was hoisted high over Wau and the rest of this new land. In Wau itself and around the rural counties of the Diocese, the ECS pastors were invited to the heart of the official celebrations.

Having been with the people through the years of struggle, we could now celebrate as one. With the coming of the new nations, the Diocese has been renewed with a vision to serve the people of its sprawling Diocese and to see God's kingdom come in this land.>/p?

Now the war is over, the priorities of the people are shifting. To help us shepherd and witness to the communities, the Diocese is praying that it will be able to provide new services. Already, there is much to thank God for: the schools are bursting at the seams, the Mothers' Union is impressing with their innovative adult education and construction has started on a vocational training centre in Kuajok.
