In a recent Africa Messenger, we included a picture of some of the students from Providence Christian School in Dothan, Alabama. The students at Providence have been wonderful partners in our clean water projects.
My mother is a Latin teacher at Providence and recently invited me to give the students an update from my [...]
During PPF’s Christmas outreaches, a team traveled south of Southern Darfur to the river town of Nyamlel, to visit an orphanage supported by PPF ministry partner African Leadership. While in Nyamlel, our vehicle suffered a puncture in one of the tires (a normal occurrence). After putting on a spare, which looked like it was about to join its predecessor, the driver recommended we drive to his office in Aweil to pick up a better spare. This would take us two hours out of our way, but we didn’t want to risk sleeping with hyenas in the desolate bush between us and our base camp in Jaac.
Kraig Swanger is a man of passion. He has a passion for the Lord, a passion for his family, and a passion for the persecuted Church. That’s what inspired Kraig to become a founding Board Member at Persecution Project Foundation. He wanted to help.
A few days ago, I was driving through Nairobi, Kenya, late in the evening (which is not generally a safe thing to do), when I came upon a scene that is all too common in that part of the world – a road accident.
One of the leaders behind the scenes at PPF is Stuart (Stu) Epperson, Jr. Stu is a wellspring of passion and energy for the cause of the persecuted. This passion is communicated every day on the eight radio stations Stu owns through Truth Broadcasting — as well as 30 affiliates nationwide.

Every day, we receive letters from members of this network [...]
We prayed that God would meet the needs of the students and multiply the fish and loaves all over again. Our desire was to get enough food to provide for the children until their next shipment arrived… and God provided.
Every week there seems to be a new story about a violent attack somewhere in the Upper Nile Region of Southern Sudan. So far this year, more than 2,000 people have been killed and 250,000 displaced because of the violence.
At PPF, we try not to be a “gloom and doom” ministry that communicates urgency and tragedy in every correspondence. We like to report good news — and there is much of it in Africa, despite the mostly negative reports we hear in the news.
One of the most expensive parts of PPF’s work in Africa is transportation. Traditionally, the most frequent mode of transport in places like Southern Sudan has been by air. But chartering airplanes is expensive — VERY expensive. Road transportation is much cheaper. It’s also slower and has traditionally been challenged by poor roads and security concerns.
