OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Sudan School - a former IFI Intern, who is now an IFI employee, serves refugees in Sudan who were displaced from the Nuba mountains due to continual aerial bombardment. The Nuba refugee children are denied access to government schools and medical care. IFI's employee built and began operating a school providing education for these children. The school facility continues to expand gradually, to accomodate more students. In this way funds designated to this service are used to practically show the love of Jesus to a marginalized people. This is one example of how IFI impacts the world through students, formerly served by IFI while in the US, who then return home with a vision to share the love of Jesus.
