John's Story
John attending class at George Whitefield College in South Africa.
John’s fellowship group at Bible college.
The visa application for John’s third year was initially refused due to a misreading by Home Affairs. We appealed this decision and John had to return to South Sudan to confirm the authenticity of his visa. It took several months before John was able to receive his visa. He had to persevere in his studies with these things on the back of his mind. When his visa was finally approved, John rejoiced and we rejoiced along with him.
John’s graduation and lecturing at Bishop Gwynne College in South Sudan.
John persevered through it all and graduated, receiving his Bachelor of Theology from George Whitefield College in November 2018. He then returned to teach at Bishop Gwynne College in South Sudan as a full-time lecturer.
