Approximately 65% of the new believers had been animists, and 4% had been Muslims. The JESUS Film was shown in the Moru language to the Moru tribe. Follow-up of the new believers will be handled by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Episcopal Church of Sudan, and the Sudan Pentecostal Church. A total of 400 bibles were distributed in the Moru language.
Discipleship follow-up training was conducted on "Blame Shifting." The following themes and verses were used in this teaching:
- Adam and Eve tried to shift blame (Genesis 3:12-13).
- Some people try to blame God (Proverbs 19:3).
- Do not judge others while you fail to acknowledge your own sin (Matthew 7:1-5).
