Marko Mou completed his BTh at GWC in 2024, and is now back in Aweil, South Sudan. He serves as the assistant pastor at St John Protestant Church Mathiang Diocese of Aweil ECSS, and lectures at Bishop John Malou College. Marko shares some news of his ministry…
“As a recent theological graduate, I have become one of the busiest people in the church, often preaching multiples times! GWC has greatly enhanced my competence and ability to faithfully preach the Word of God to an English-speaking, multicultural and interdenominational congregation that draws members from both local South Sudanese and foreign nationals. My work also focuses on leading services and handling administrative tasks, and the tools and skills I required at College – from organising Bible studies through to time management – have been invaluable in my ministry.
During the holidays, I plan to organise training for pastors and lay leaders. I have noticed a significant gap in ministries such as youth, children, and women’s ministry. If I can secure the necessary resources, I would be delighted to equip youth and children’s workers to serve more effectively and competently in their roles. I am also currently gathering the necessary materials to launch the Explore course, and plan to start with a small group of committed and faithful believers who are devoted to Scripture.
There are many challenges to Christianity (and life in general) here in South Sudan. In spite of these, my greatest highlight since being home has been seeing the willingness and zeal of the students who I am lecturing at Bishop John Malou College. Their dedication and commitment to learn the Word of God, both in and outside the classroom, is truly encouraging and inspiring! God is at work, and we praise Him! Thank you for your continued prayers for my ministry in South Sudan.”
