More about Andrew

Why did you want to come to school here in the US? I come to school here in the US because I need good education. School materials and books are available. Good teachers and technology. United State is a Peaceful country good for studies.

What do you want to do with your education when you return to Sudan? I want to go back to work in my country, open a Christian schools to teach my people so that they will be able to understand the word of God and be able to take good care of themselves. I pray that God will use me to teach for his glory, because many southern Sudanese people do not go to school due to the persecution by the north. For example, no good school was build in southern Sudan, no running water, electricity, good road. In 1953 my father was sent out from school, because he is a Christian and my elder brother as well when he completed his high school, he was denied in 1985/86 not to go to college. Not only my family, but all southern Sudanese people were denied because of their faith in Jesus Christ. From my family I’m the first person to go to College it’s a miracle. Due to the persecution in Sudan, still today our people die because of no medicine, most of southern Sudanese sleep in Mad Hut house the roof attached grass every two to three years we rebuild it, drink dirty water full of disease, study under the tree or open air, stay without electricity, and drive on dirty road.

Today I thank God so much for choosing me from the jungle of Sudan to come in U. S to study in order to go back to teach my people. I am so thankful and I appreciate all the supports of my fellow brothers and sisters in the United States who have love to assist with school fees and living expenses while here in U .S. May God bless you and use you for his glory. I will conclude that as you educate me here, you educate millions of people in Sudan because when I go back the knowledge I get from the United States, they will get from me it’s so great.

How is your first semester in school? My first semester was heard especial reading because everything is in computer where in Sudan. I knew nothing about computer but still I enjoyed I got A in Math’s, A in Orientation, B in reading and C in History Western Civilization (1) I hope to do better in second semester.

What did you enjoy mostly in USA? I enjoyed teaching; Teachers are friendly to me and helpful. I enjoyed good time with friends or Christians in USA, they have the love for people I fell at home.

What is most challenge for you in USA? The most challenge I got here is that my people are still back in main ways. In the system of education, Health, water, agriculture, living condition is poor. They need help that is why today our people are still dying of malaria, worms or parasites due to poor living condition example, drinking of dirty water from the creeks or rivers which is dirty.
How can people pray for you? knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Pray for my family back home. Pray for the future Christian school I want to build back to South Sudan so that God will sent friends to build .I also need prayers for my studies so that God will continue paying my school fees and living expenses while here in the United State.
