Saving Grace World Missions would like to introduce James Nyika, who is a Sudanese refugee, raised up by SGWM to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to his own people in the Sudan. James is from Southern Sudan, but he had to flee the Sudan to save his own life and his family’s lives from the Civil War. James lived in the Kiryandongo Refugee camp in Uganda, and through Saving Grace Refugee Services, went to Grace Bible School there. It was God’s Hand that brought James and his family to the same camp that Saving Grace Refugee Services was ministering in. James was quickly raised up to be a national leader through the training he received while at Grace Bible School.

It was through the teaching of the Word that James approached the staff of Saving Grace Refugee Services and said; “God called you Americans to preach the Word in this refugee camp…these people are my people, I speak their language, I know their culture. I can function among them better than you. God is calling me to reach my people with the Gospel….I am ready to go home and preach the Gospel to the peoples of The Sudan.”

This was the start of something great. God was fulfilling the vision He gave SGWM to raise up national leaders and send them into their own countries to reach their own people. God has united the hearts of three men: James Nyika, David Ogwang and Charles Mark, who were all trained and raised up through Saving Grace Refugee Services and lead by James Nyika and who are now preparing to travel into Southern Sudan to preach the Gospel to the unreached tribes.

“Mission FRUITS,” is the name given by James Nyika, the Director of Southern Sudan Ministries to this organization.

The Background

Mission FRUITS is a non-denominational indigenous mission organization. God first spoke to James concerning “Mission FRUITS in 2005, and it developed later as God led James and Jane Nyika with their daughter Fiona to move into The Sudan. Mission FRUITS officially started church planting among the Toposa people in Loolim on June 27th, 2006.

Loolim is in Narus county, 20 km away from a town called Narus. It is on the Narus Kopoeta Highway in Southern Sudan. The five major tribes in the great Kapoeta area are the Toposa, Nyangatom, Didinga, Murle and the Bunya. The neighboring tribes are the Turkana in the south-eastern part, Dinkas in the north, Didinga in the west and the Kachepo in the east. All of these tribes are mostly unreached by the Gospel. Among these estimated 800,000 people their basic needs of medical attention, clean water and modern conveniences are also unmet. Quarrelling comes amongst these tribes because of cattle raiding by the Toposa, Bunya, Murle and the Didinga.

Mission Fruits is going to use its’ resources to bring the Gospel of transformation among these tribes.

OUR Vision

We want to reach these unreached tribes with the Gospel and also meet their needs. We want to teach reading to the illiterate, help the disabled children who became that way because of the war, help the widows, and help the lost generation by giving them skills through a special school called “Intergraded Primary School.”

Mission Statement

FRUITS is based on faith, compassion, sympathy and love. We believe that God has called us to this ministry and is sending us to go and do His will there.

Why Mission Fruits Exists

In 1964 the Sudan Government in Khartoum ordered all western missionaries to leave the Sudan. This has left a huge gap and much unfinished work-the reason Mission FRUITS exists is to fill in that gap.

Our Strategy

We plan to establish biblically based schools that will train children in the Scriptures, as well as provide them with a thorough education in all subjects. Once the school buildings are built, these buildings will also function as a church and Bible College. We will be meeting multiple needs in the community. This is a great way to infiltrate the culture and people with the Word of God.

Integrated Primary School

He who has been stealing must work doing something useful with his own hands that he may have something to share with those in need. Ephesians 4:28

This school will be special as we will take people who have never been to school before, both children and adults and teach them. In Primary One to Four, we will teach them how to read and write. In Primary Five to Eight, they will receive technical skills in carpentry and joinery, building, agriculture, tailoring, dress making, mechanics, etc. The widow and the disabled will be included in this training.

The Lost Generation

In 1994, the government of Sudan in Khartoum under Omer El Beshir, closed all the English schools and designed a new curriculum for the studies. This curriculum was for only one purpose-to teach people Islam. Because of the change in curriculum, we have people who are born during this era who are completely lost.

Mission FRUITS vision is to integrate these people back to the society through Integrated Primary School. We want to restore hope, love and peace to this lost generation through the salvation of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
