Gord Skonik  works for Impact South Sudan, a Christian organisation that’s been involved in the peace and reconciliation process following the recent unrest.

Christian volunteers spend time empowering local churches and offer pastoral training. In one 3-month period, 197 pastors received training, and over 200 churches were planted.

Much of the recent violence has been based around a long history of tribal conflict in South Sudan – mainly between the Dinka and Nuer tribes. Gord and his team have seen huge transformation through the power of God’s love and forgiveness.
