Every strong house has a strong foundation. A foundation carries and supports the weight of the entire building. It keeps the building standing during natural disasters such as storms and floods. Jesus said, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock” (Matthew 7:24- 25). At TF, therefore, we work to strengthen the church’s foundation in South Sudan and beyond by teaching the followers of Christ to hear and practice the word of God, by equipping leaders, and by providing excellent education to the next generation.
