About the peace, reconciliation, and healing workshops

The Peace, Reconciliation, and Healing Project (referred to as PRH) has gone through six successful phases which trained more than 4000 Peace Ambassadors in four countries in East Africa, namely Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. The participants of the previous six phases are from the refugees and IDPs camps in those countries. Those who have gone through the PRH workshops are now considered to be “Christ Ambassadors for Peace” for the people of South Sudan and beyond.

​The Peace, Reconciliation, and Healing Project is funded by Covenant World Relief since 2014. The ECCSS Administration office is currently planning to combine the training methods to offer PRH trainings to both refugees and IPDs (Internally displaced persons) who are residing both inside and outside South Sudan. The ECCSSE office is planning to train IDPs in the Juba UNIMISS camp and the Juba IDP Camp within South Sudan as well as in the Makeam Refugee Camp in Sudan. The Makeam Refugee Camp is located 195 kilometers east of Khartoum, Sudan. The PRH participants from the Makeam camp will be receiving their second training with 150 new participants joining them (300 in total), while the 300 participants in Juba will all be attending a training for the first time.


peace , reconciliation, and healing Phase 7

The PRH Project phase 7 will mainly consist of eight professional facilitators who will train the participants. The participants will mainly consist of church leaders, community leaders, youth, and women who are considered to be influential figures and will be able to disseminate peace messages to the antagonistic communities of South Sudan. They will be trained as ambassadors and will convey the message of peace to all the people of South Sudan and beyond. The participants will be drawn from various tribes who are fighting against each other. They will mainly be selected from Nuer, Dinka, Murle, Shiluk, Mabaan and other tribes who live in the refugee camps and are fighting against each other in South Sudan.

For both returning attendees (also referred to as Trainers of Trainees or TOTs) and those just beginning the training in Juba and Makeam refugee camps the goals of the PRH-7 training will be as follows:
  • To enable the people of South Sudan to realize the importance of the signed peace agreement which will be fruitful for the people of South Sudan.
  • To ease the high degree of trauma which has been spread by the civil war in South Sudan.
  • To give the community methods by which to preserve peace in the aftermath of the conflict.
  • To show God’s love to all people.
  • To teach the true love of Jesus on the cross.
  • To equip the men and women who attend to participate in kingdom building through peace-making (through the making of Peace Ambassadors).​​
