MEET JENGMER

Peter Jengmer Yat
Home Village: Torpuot (Nasir area)
Family:  Wife, Nyabang Chuol, and 4 boys and 1 girl

Jengmer is determined to spread the peace of the gospel to his people. When he was only a young man, the government stormed his village, interrogated the people, killed those who did not have the right answers and burned all crops. It was here that he lost his earthly father and held tight to the protection of his Heavenly Father. One of the many displaced, he eventually made his way to Kenya on foot and literally climbed a mountain to enter the safety net of the refugee camp. Here he served as a spiritual leader to his hope-deprived people and eventually gained asylum to the United States.

Jengmer has always had it in his heart to return home to share the gospel of peace but never had an opportunity go back. Through his experiences, he learned that if he prayed, God would do something. So he prayed. When he learned of Aid Sudan’s Moses Project, he responded with a simple yet profound, “I am ready!”
