Support displaced orphans in South Sudan

The Rev. Mary Bol of St. John’s South Sudanese Church requests the support of the Circles of Color and the Diocese of Olympia as she travels to South Sudan from late January to mid-February, 2023. Planting The Seeds For Tomorrow Child Rescue Orphanage in Wangulei, Twic, was destroyed earlier this year, following the fourth year in a row of severe climate change-induced flooding. The children have been displaced to different camps within South Sudan, with the majority now located in the capital city of Juba where Rev. Mary will visit. During the day, the children come to church for food and school, then return to sleep at relatives’ or friends’ houses.

Rev. Mary has been thinking about these children for some time and will be purchasing food and mosquito nets for them. Her goal is to raise $3,000-4,000 in support from friends and the diocesan community. Rev. Mary is very grateful to be able to serve in this outreach mission and says that donations will help save children’s lives. Let us contribute to Rev. Mary’s vital ministry supporting international child welfare on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
