The church service which she was attending was the first service held at Akule refugee camp and was open to Christians of all denominations. Bishop Grant LeMarquand and his wife Wendy were in attendance. Four thousand attended that day, and her Sunday offering of grain was a portion of her family’s food rations.

Opening eyes in Indian villages
With funds from Anglican Aid, 107 houses have been built for families left homeless after severe floods in 2012. Eye Openers staff advised poor people about hazardous infections such as cholera, typhoid and hepatitis, which can be spread by drinking water contaminated by open defacation practices and they have become accustomed to
A program supported by Anglican Aid in Andhra Pradesh, eastern India, is improving eyesight and general health for thousands of people. Dr Kumar Kota, a highly qualified ophthalmologist, leads a team of technicians and nurses, educators and community health workers in general medical and specialist eye surgeries.
In the 12 months to the end of June 2014 the program, known as Eye Openers, performed 838 cataract surgeries, with as many as 92 operations being carried out in a single month. Eye Openers has been able to conduct extra village clinics
using the lavatories provided with the new houses. Better water supplies have been provided.
THE STORY OF SAARAMMA... From Eye Openers comes this story of an elderly lady, described by ophthalmologist Dr Kumar Kota as “a role model for many of us who say ‘sweet are the uses of adversity’.” She came from a low caste and her occupation was washing dirty clothes. She was married at a very early age to an elderly man. While still in her teens, she gave birth to a daughter; then her husband died. Her daughter was a sick child who suffered from very frequent attacks of asthma.
and now that an ophthalmic assistant has been appointed

by evening had to prepare a box containing hot coal for ironing. Despite all this effort, Saaramma made only a small amount of money. Saaramma and her sick daughter lived in a very small hut, which was washed away every year when the river flooded. Devastating floods in 2012 washed everything away and – her daughter having married and moved – she was left alone with nothing. With Anglican Aid’s support, all the flood victims now have their own permanent homes. Saaramma’s house has a bedroom, a small place to cook and an individual bath and toilet. Once a suffering woman, she now comforts many others in their suffering. Five years ago she accepted Christ as her personal Saviour, took baptism and now is a great asset to Eye Openers.

Scarred Tree Within the grounds of St John’s Anglican Church, Glebe, stands a scarred tree, thought to be the oldest tree in Sydney outside the Botanical Gardens, but one of thousands of surviving trees in NSW which bear scars resulting from removal of bark or wood by Aboriginal people in the past to make canoes, shields and other artefacts. The Glebe survivor now has given its name to The Scarred Tree, a project of St John’s supported by Anglican Aid, which aims to bring healing and honour to Indigenous Australians scarred by trauma, exclusion and injustice. The church traces its history back to early colonial settlement, the designation of land for church use and so to the dispossession of the Gadigal people. Indigenous Australians in the Glebe and surrounding communities continue to suffer discrimination, social exclusion and poverty. More than 300 Indigenous people live in Glebe.

OVERSEAS MINISTRY
DEVELOPING CHURCH LEADERS IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO Imagine going to a church where the one and only pastor does not have a high school education, let alone a degree in theology! In Australia we enjoy rich theological teaching in our churches, yet in Africa, where the gospel is flourishing, there is a serious need for trained pastors. In Bukavu and Kindu the Anglican Bishops have established Bible Schools which train 65 pastors. Anglican Aid is partnering with both these dioceses to ensure churches can receive good Biblical teaching. In Aru Diocese, the total cost of running a Bible College and training 19 prospective pastors is less than US$12,000 annually- less than a bachelor degree here in Australia. The Bishop of Aru, Rev Dr Titre Ande Georges oversees over 300 congregations and hopes to start 10 new parishes after the ordination of the current students in 2014. The diocese is only nine years old and has grown in that time from 13 to 34 parishes. These parishes have a total of 301 congregations, most of which have lay leaders. Lay leaders are selected and enrolled in the three year full time Bible College program and on graduation spend a year as ordinands under an ordained minister. Following the year as an ordinand, the Bishop establishes new parishes, which reduces the demand on existing ordained ministers, some of whom have double digit numbers of congregations, many in difficult to reach locations. In the last five years 37 graduates have completed the three year course at Aru Bible College and gone on to ministry locally. The Bible college is staffed by three ordained ministers and is under the direction of the bishop.

The benefits of CarLIle college
To: Eddie Ozols Anglican Aid Office and African Projects Manager
Episcopal Church of Sudan/South Sudan Nzara County, Nzara Diocese Date: 17th July, 2014.
SUBJECT: MY LIFE/STUDIES AT CARLILE COLLEGE AS SUPPORTED BY ANGLICAN AID Dear Sir, I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I Emmanuel William Ramadan, was born on 19th April, 1989 in Nzara County during the war which was happening in Sudan and my father died in the same year because of war in Maridi County, left me with my Mother while I was 7 month old. My mother Yoditha Laila was a youth in the Church and took me for baptism while I was small in the same year of 1989. How I went for my further studies at Carlile College; So I got to know about Carlile College from our Bishop The Rt. Rev. Capt. Samuel Enosa Peni, because he also studied from there. When he receive form from the Carlile College officer concerning students to go for missionary studies (Missiology). Because all of my life have been in the Church ministry, that is to say from Sundays-School to youth ministry, Sunday-School Teacher and Sunday-School Coordinator when our Parish Nzara became Diocese in 2010, by the grace of God I filled the form and was succeeded and went for my studies of Higher Diploma in Missiology in August, 2011 which was completed with my graduation on May, 31st 2014. So my life at Carlile College have been good, because by studying there it helped me to know more about God, that is to say understanding Bible by reading and interpreting it and special it help me about the mission of God how it begin in Old Testament and accomplished in the New Testament (by Jesus Christs’ birth, suffering, death and resurrection), How to be a good leader (Transformational Leadership), how to be a good Evangelist (Missionary) and also my studies at Carlile College help a lot on how to interact with others from deferent countries around Africa and some of the Lecturers outside Africa (Relationship). So my life in Kenya and studies at Carlile College have helped me a lot on how to do Evangelism in South Sudan, Sudan, Africa and Worldwide, Where ever God will send me to reach to His people (to seek the lost) with the good news of salvation (Mathhew 28:18-20). So after my graduation or completion of my Higher Diploma in Missiology at Carlile College on 31st May, 2014, we had one week retreat on Evangelism (the work of Missionary) whereby we were commissioned as Church Army Captains on 19th June, 2014, which was organized by Church Army Africa, Nairobi, Kenya. After finishing my studies of Higher Diploma in Missiology and commissioned as Church Army Africa Captain (Missionary) and being back from Nairobi, Kenya to South Sudan, Western Equatorial State Yambio, Nzara County, Nzara Diocese, I am now working as an Evangelist and is appointed as the Director of Christian Education and a person in-charge of English Service in Nzara Diocese. So these what God is doing. So in Conclusion, I give much thanks to God and special thanks to the Anglican Aid for the good ministry God has given them to support the World, special us Africans by sponsoring us to school to know the word of God and how to reach out by proclaiming the good news of salvation to people which was commanded to us by our Lord Jesus Christ in (Mathew 28:18-20). Thank you very much for sponsoring me, may God bless you abundantly with the wonderful ministry which you are doing (Numbers 6:24-26). Yours in Christ Jesus, Capt. Emmanuel William Ramadan,
