Lent
Lent starts on a different date every year because its beginning depends on the date of Easter. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. Consequently, all days related to Easter shift each year with the new date. The Lenten season commences precisely 46 days before Easter Sunday. The first day is always a Wednesday, known as Ash Wednesday.

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Clement Mesegbe Abiatere, an elder from Mundri West County, Western Equatoria State, South Sudan; after receiving both the Printed and Audio Bible in Moru during the distribution campaign had this to say:
“I am so happy and honored to receive the word of God, both in written and Audio. This is a great sign of God’s favor on me and my family. My wife and I will be listening to it along with our sons, daughters, grandsons and grand-daughters. Our devotion is going to be rich with the word of God read or listened to. Those who are not educated have no excuse not to hear the word of God, but will equally share the same blessing along side with the educated. I extend my gratitude to the Bible Society and its partners for this amazing work.”
Bible Society in South Sudan’s FCBH Facilitators Rev. Gimsala Benneth (left) and Rev. Emmanuel Lokonga (right) reached the Mundari Herders whose profession is to take care of their animals and engage in wrestling as a sign of bravery and strong leadership skills . Kulang John, one of the cattle keepers who joined Listening Group at a cattle camp had this to say, “I am Kulang John, 35 years. I am one of the Mundari Cattle Keepers in South Sudan. I am a leader of Wrestling Game. I thank God for giving us this opportunity of having Talking Bible. In my community now we no more focus on cattle keeping and wrestling game but we are now giving our time also to listen to the word of God too and sincerely, our lives have changed through Talking Bible.” The Cattle keepers have added listening to the word of God as one of their major activities and this is impacting their lives positively. We give all the glory to God for opening a door for the Cattle Keepers.
