FAVOUR AFRICA MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL

CONCEPT NOTE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF RADIO OFFICE EXTENSION IN SOUTH SUDAN.

BACK GROUND

Since the declaration of independence in South Sudan in 2011, the youngest nation in the world has never found peace for her

nationals. It was literally known that the nation would get the ever yearning peace that she was struggling to attain while under her

mother Country Sudan but on the contrary it was ironical. The struggle for power between President Omar Salva Kiir and Riek

Machar the opposition leader that left so many innocent south Sudanese without their home states, parents and relatives

leading to massive tribal animosity, death, displacement of people from their original land while other survivors are getting

refuge in Uganda as refugees. Many attempts has been put forward to bring forth peace in the land of the south Sudanese

including the reputable tool of Peace talk that all failed not even the intervention of the African Union, and other renown

activist.

Favor of God ministry through her vision of transformed hearts transform nations extended its formidable mission in the land

of the oppressed, the marginalized (south Sudan) to combat this act through biblical principles. The ministries began a walk of

faith through its project of Rural education and empowerment project where numbers of people including the Christians are

taught biblical principles on portable bible school where several lives changing topics are handled which are not limited to

trauma counselling, adult literacy, biblical doctrine, youth capacity development, are taught to transform the lives of the

vulnerable south Sudanese from the atrocities of the civil war. The ministries also handle the capacity building of the

vulnerable women through the Women empowerment project where women are transformed through provision of

livelihoods. Her department of House of prayer for all nations that provides for spiritual nurturing of Christian is one of the

major activities where transformation are believed to have taken place from and a Radio station where transformation is done

through radio waves reaching every corner of the nation with the word of God.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Despites of all these wonderful activities being implemented, the ministries still lacks proper office space for the radio team

and the local mission team based in Juba. Due to the large number of field workers in the ministry, there is inadequate office

space, conference hall to hold larger meetings; the community normally gathers for fellowships in the same venue in large

number but the space is very squeezed to accommodate 100 of members. Most often when the community for fellowships

and prayers for the nation of South Sudan, the space wouldn’t be enough and most times they end up filling the road way

across the Favour Africa office.

Favour Africa Ministries has been holding a number of trainings for the community members, church leaders and government

leaders in areas like, peace building and reconciliation, trauma counselling, Portable bible school, Adult literacy, community

health, youth life skills and others in the same tiny hall at the radio site. Sometimes such training would attract large number

of participants who would fit the in the small hall and this made it difficult to meet our target most times.

JUSTIFICATION

The extension of the Radio offices and the provision of the main hall will help reduce the congestion during prayer meetings,

fellowships, and also it will create more office space for the growing number of the local missionary team who are carrying out

intervention in over 30 states of South Sudan.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTENDING TRAINING. AN OVERFLOW OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS DUE TO SMALL

SPACE

The office expansion will also give a better elevation for the radio booster to be implanted on top of the building and attached

to a metal container and hence improving on the radio coverage into many more other catchment areas within and outside

Juba city.

QUOTATION FOR TOWER SUPPLY

TOWER ELEVATION DESIGN. TEMPORARY TOWER PLAN AND CITY POWER PLAN.

THERE ARE URGENT NEEDS FOR;

Provision of enough office space for the missionary team, ministry’s staff and the volunteers working with the ministry. The

current office space is small and inadequate for the growing number of staffs.

Staff members sharing office space due to inadequate office space.

Community hall where fellowship/prayer, teaching and training of community leaders and pastors are done. The ministry still

have a small hall that cannot accommodate the high numbers of community members that turn in for prayer and training.

Community members attending training in the small hall.

Procurement and installation of 50meter radio tower that will cover a wider are of the nation. The current radio tower is only

30 meters and this has hindered the coverage of the radio to the wider community of south Sudan.
