Strategic plan 2013-2015: Reaching the vision By Rev. Alex Aciga The Diocese of Kajo-Keji produced a strategic plan for 2013-2015 with the vision to see a faithful, committed, capable and self-sustaining community. In the period 2008-2012 we had three areas of focus: Evangelism and Discipleship, Institutional and Community Development, and Stewardship of Resources. For the new plan we are using 4 E's: Evangelism and discipleship (ED), Education (E), Empowerment (E) and Establishment and organizational development (EOD). The plan was developed in a 3-day participatory workshop attended by the Diocesan staff and volunteers including the Bishop, all Archdeacons, heads of developmental units in the Diocese, Mothers' Union leaders and the youth. The process was facilitated by Mr Moses Monday John, an independent consultant. We thank Tear Fund UK for sponsoring this workshop. This plan is a dynamic document that may be reviewed in response to changes in our context. It also forms the basis for fundraising and utilization of resources to move the Diocese forward.

Bishop Anthony Poggo is one of the 14 Bishops from South Sudan that will travel to the UK for this occasion. In a Partners’ Conference the participants will reflect on what has been achieved together during the past 40 years as well as think about how the Link can best move forward. Bishop Anthony will spend some time with the Deanery of Devizes and Rural Dean Jonathan Triffitt, who visited Kajo-Keji last year. <strong>Voice</strong> of Hope | Issue 3 | May 2013 Page 6
Wheels for Bishop By the Editor On the 3 June 2013, at a service to mark the 6 th anniversary of the enthronement of Bishop Anthony Poggo as Bishop of Kajo-Keji, the Dicocese will launch a fundraising campaign for a new car for the bishop. We ask the Bishop why he needs new wheels. Bishop Anthony: "In one of the overseas trips I did last year, I was asked as to what was the most difficult thing to raise funds for, without any further though, I immediately replied, a vehicle. We have been unsuccessful in the past but it is a real need. I can't do my ministry without a reliable vehicle. The present vehicle, which was bought second hand in 2007, is now experiencing mechanical problems after 6 years of service and it needs to be replaced. In order to buy a vehicle that is reliable and fit for the road conditions in South Sudan, we will need to raise at least US$ 40,000 or 120,000 SSP". At the time of going to press, the total amount received in the Bishop's Vehicle account is US$ 765 and 3,200 SSP (equivalent to US$ 1,067). We have received a pledge of 1,000 SSP plus another pledge of US$ 1,000. If you would like to make a contribution, please contact Bishop Anthony directly for details. We will also advise those outside South Sudan on the best way of sending money without incurring high bank transfer charges. The Diocese is hoping to purchase the vehicle within three months so we would appreciate it if you could send your contribution before the end of July. Celebration Samaritan's Purse On 19 May 2013, Bishop Anthony Poggo represented the Archbishop in Akuem at a celebration of Samaritan's Purse to mark the end of the construction of 512 churches in South Sudan and Nuba Mountains. Many church leaders from different parts of South Sudan and Nuba Mountains were in attendance. Bishop Anthony: "One of the exciting things for me as a new Bishop was to go around dedicating the 39 churches and the 1 Cathedral built as a collaborative venture between Samaritan’s Purse (SP) and the local churches of the Diocese of Kajo-Keji. Apart from the churches built for the ECS, there were 16 churches built for the Sudan Pentecostal Churches in Kajo-Keji. Thank you very much SP and your supporters for what you have done to help our people with better Churches!".
