At Across, we work to bring Christ centered transformation of South Sudan communities. We desire to see people with a hopeful plan for their own life, their families, their communities, and their country. We desire to see people with a greater understanding of Jesus and living out an imitation of His life here on earth. We desire to see people reaching out to the needs of others. 

For 43 years Across has walked with the communities of South Sudan, both during times of war and times of peace, as they realize the God given potential of their land and their people. These years have been full of successes, but marred with the pain and struggle of a country torn apart by years of civil and tribal war. We remain strong in our resolve to walk with the broken hearted and proclaim a different way of life, one that is marked with the character of Christ. Peace, love, sufficiency, joy, hope, service, commitment and faithfulness.

Christ centered Transformation

Lifelong, sustainable transformation that affects every part of life – mental, physical, spiritual, and social. This not a new model for transformation! Jesus brought the model for transformation when He came to earth. As we walk alongside South Sudan communities, we seek transformation in these same 4 domains:

In Luke chapter 2 verse 52, Jesus grew from a child to a man in four different domains:

“He grew in wisdom (mental) and stature (physical) and in favor with God (spiritual) and

man (social).”

Extension of the arm of God to impact the:

Mental:Knowledge, insight, vision for the future.

Physical:Sufficient food, access to health care, proper sanitation/hygiene, and stable housing.

Spiritual:Continuously deepening relationship with God and imitation of His character

Social:Harmonious relationships serving each other
