Who Hears Our Cry?!
Networking for the South Sudanese Refugee Crisis
Summer 2025
Do you hear their cry?
Over 35,000 South Sudanese have recently fled brutal violence—violence inflicted by their own government—in a desperate search for safety. Now across the border in Ethiopia, they have found refuge, but not relief. Hunger stalks their camps. It has been weeks with no food aid. Starvation, dehydration and the outbreak of disease are the immediate consequences. The Ethiopian government has not yet authorized the United Nations to respond.
But we hear their cry.
And we believe the Church must respond—not just with words, but with action. We will be their voice. We will be their hands. In the name of Jesus, we will bring food, hope, and compassion.
This is a call to the whole body of Christ. Scripture tells us, “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:26) These are our brothers and sisters. When they cry, we cry. When they hunger, we act.
Will you join us?
Together, through the Lutheran Church of South Sudan–North America, we are raising funds that will go directly to purchase and deliver food. No facilities to maintain, no salaries for board members. Just life-saving relief sent from North America to those who purchase and deliver the food—the Lutheran Church of South Sudan. A donation of $33 will buy a 100 kilogram bag of maize or sorghum. This bag would have enough calories to keep 22 people alive for 10 more days. A donation of $100 would keep 66 people alive for 10 more days. And it’s given with a loving ministry of Jesus.​​
