Church Van Fund Appeal Sudanese Community Church

From: Pastor Khamis Artema

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I greet you in the name of Jesus. My name is Pastor Khamis Artema, and I have the privilege of serving Sudanese Community Church here in Minnesota.

By God’s grace, we have been blessed with many new families who have found our church a place of spiritual support, healing, and hope. For many who came to this country carrying grief and loss, the church has become home. Every Sunday we worship together, pray together, and encourage one another in Christ.

But we face a practical challenge: Many of these families do not have reliable transportation. Some live far from the church. Without transport, parents struggle to bring children for Sunday school. Elderly members miss services. New families who desperately need fellowship are left at home.

The Need: A 14-Passenger Van

We are believing God for a 14-passenger van to safely transport these families to church and back home each week. This van will:

1. Bring families to worship No one will miss hearing God’s Word because of lack of transport.

2. Carry children safely Sunday school and youth will grow when kids can get to church.

3. Serve the sick & elderly We can visit those in hospital, take them for appointments, and ensure they are not forgotten.

4. Unite our community The van will be more than metal and wheels. It will be a tool for love, care, and discipleship.

How You Can Help

We are asking good wishers, friends of ministry, and partners in the Gospel to help us raise funds for this van. Every gift, large or small, is seed sown into lives and eternity.

If God lays it on your heart, please prayerfully consider giving toward this need.

Whoever is kind to the needy honors God Proverbs 14:31

As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” Joshua 24:15

We cannot do this alone. But with God, and with your partnership, these families will have a way to come and be fed spiritually each week.

May God bless you richly for your generosity and for standing with Sudanese families in Minnesota. We will keep you updated and will dedicate this van to the glory of God.

In His service,

Pastor Khamis Artema
