We recorded this conversation nearly a year ago, back in the fall of 2024, just as Ashley was settling into life at The Woodlands Methodist Church. And guess what? Tianna Johnston of Every Village was our very first guest of the season!Now, finally, you get to hear all the giggles, all the stories, and (more importantly) you get to know this precious soul. Tianna is kind, witty, a phenomenal storyteller, and the kind of person who just makes life better.We know you’re going to love her as much as we do!Get to Know Every VillageEvery Village partners with the people of South Sudan to bring sustainable access to safe water, thriving churches, and the gospel by radio. We love what they say on their website:When South Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011 to become the world’s newest country, it was left as one of the least developed nations in the world…Here are just a few of the heartbreaking realities South Sudan faced in 2011:A country the size of Texas with less than 100 miles of paved roadFewer than a third of the population with access to safe waterFewer than 100 doctors and only 15 hospitals for over 10 million peopleThe world’s highest maternal mortality rateA girl was 3x more likely to die in childbirth than to graduate from 6th grade75% of adults were unable to read or write42% of the population was under age 15Ranked as the least developed country in the world (Human Development Index)But Every Village sees hope. The South Sudanese people are strong and full of vision. They dream of building a nation for Christ, and Every Village is walking with them, committed to helping rebuild from the ground up.🎧 Learn more about Every Village by listening to their podcast: Why South Sudan? – Every VillageMusic by: Irene & the SleepersLogo by: Jill EllisWebsite: menomissions.orgContact Us: [email protected]
