James & Lyndsay Ellis

In 2014, our family moved to Kajo-Keji, South Sudan amongst the Kuku people.  Our ministry was Indigenous church planting through pastoral discipleship.   We were engaged in learning their language and way of life before fleeing from war in 2017 to Uganda with them. We are blessed to continue discipling the Sudanese Pastors who live in the Refugee Camps. We are working to further train them as they plant churches in the camps hoping to eventually move their ministries back to South Sudan.

The Lord has placed us among the Ma’di people in Northern Uganda and has burdened us for this people group of 310,000 people. We have begun learning the Ma’di language, with the desire to start a literacy program, translation work, and to have an Indigenous church planted.

Praise the Lord for His righteousness, grace, mercy, and provision over the years witnessed during and through His ministry.
