Sherkole refugee camp in western Ethiopia is home to approximately 18,000 Sudanese refugees from many tribes. SIM desires to teach, train, and prepare Sudanese for their return home by focusing on literacy, Bible training, and discipleship. Young men in the camp have started a TEE program (Theological Education by Extension) and are studying English course material produced by an SIM missionary. They are working towards a diploma in Biblical Studies. You would have the opportunity to meet with students for discussion, teaching, discipleship, prayer, and to build relationships. What a great privilege to play a role in the lives of the Sudanese before they return to their various homelands!
