Terekeka and Gartok were formerly Government of Sudan controlled villages. Bishop Taban reports that before the war he helped build the Terekeka hospital and now only its walls remain. Terekeka is also the hometown of Bishop Taban’s adopted son Zachariah Lako Elia. Zachariah feels led to go back to this town to lead the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in this area of the Mundari tribe.
Approximately 60% of the new believers had been animists, and 10% had been Muslims. The JESUS Film was shown in the Bari language to the Bari and Mundari tribes. Follow-up of the new believers will be handled by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Sudan Pentecostal Church, and the Episcopal Church of Sudan. One new Evangelical Presbyterian church was planted in Terekeka. A total of 600 bibles were distributed in the Bari language.
The team taught discipleship training from 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus. Most of the teaching was on leadership training and Christian ethics.
