Each year, the principals of the Nebraska District schools choose a project to support with their prayers and offerings throughout the school year. This year's project follows. Schools may send their Hearts for Jesus offerings to the District Office clearly marked as "Hearts for Jesus."
Hearts for Jesus 2007-2008
Most Sudanese come to the United States to escape religious persecution. Not only is there persecution to the Christian population, there is civil war, hunger, and poor living conditions.
The Sudanese hope for:
- a better life
- to bring their families to a safe place, America
- freedom to serve their Lord and Savior
SELCM’s MISSION to the Sudanese people is to share the saving message to help save the lost and strengthen the saved to live courageous lives of Christian witness. SELCM has a VISION to develop Sudanese leaders for the next generation while meeting today’s human care needs. SELCM has a GOAL to partner with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sudan to provide Bibles and hymnals in the Nuer language so that the Sudanese may worship the Lord in the spirit and truth of their own language, honor the Lord with culturally relevant teaching, and provide education for their children.
The children of SELCM gather on Saturday mornings to learn the catechism and Christian songs in Nuer and English. The children need to be taught their parents’ heritage and culture, and the parents need to learn their childrens’ new way of life.
