There are three emphases in our missions outreach:

The Savannah Farmers Cooperative – Southern Sudan

The largest financial investment is in community development by the creation of modern farms for mass food production and the increasing of planted acreage by local small farms.

Large farms (2,000 acres under one manager) are broken up into 100 and 200 acre fields. These fields are divided by green belts of undisturbed virgin bush to preserve both wildlife and combat erosion. Every 2,000 acre farm is responsible for serving small farmers in education and development to increase the small farmer’s acreages from the traditional 2 or 3 acres to up to twenty-five acres, introducing modern farming technology appropriate to the area, and turning their farms into businesses rather than merely subsistence farms.

With the recent predictions by the World Food Organization that 4,500,000 people will face hunger in southern Sudan in 2010-2011, this becomes a matter of extreme urgency.

Several years ago, over 100,000 acres was leased to the Savannah Farmers Cooperative for the development of large farms. Clearing, ploughing and preparing all this land for planting is a massive multi-million dollar and multi-year challenge. Investment in large machinery and training of operators alone runs into millions of dollars.

 The Liwolo Regional Hospital – Kajokeji County

This hospital was begun by Crossroads Christian Communications Inc. but has now become the challenge of Cal Bombay Ministries Inc. Four 28 bed wards have been built but are not yet finished. Offices and the Operating rooms have yet to be built. We are doing this in conjunction with Humanitarian Assistance for Southern Sudan, a local Sudanese NGO. It will be the only hospital for more than 40 km in all directions of heavily populated land.  Hundreds suffer treatable diseases and many die because of the inability to get to the Kajokeji town hospital. We have volunteers ready to go, but with an unfinished facility . . . 

Churches

The people of southern Sudan are primarily Christian in faith. Their churches have been deliberately destroyed by the northern Islamist regime during the many years of war and they now need places of worship. With the development of the large farms, we are attracting greater numbers of people to the area, most of whom want a place to worship. We will establish these where other agencies may not.

We are grateful for the building of many churches in the area by Samaritan’s Purse under Franklin Graham’s leadership.
