Our calling to South Sudan started in 1998. As Peter and Shauna met and then married the following year, it was with a focus on South Sudan. It's been our privilege to devote ourselves since then to the spread of the Kingdom of God among the South Sudanese people. 

We first moved into a mud hut in South Sudan in 2003. The country was in civil war at the time, and from that period through independence we have witnessed God moving in the nation.

Allison, Timothy, and Titus have grown up with this same calling. As a family we are deeply passionate about what God is doing in South Sudan.

OUR NAME

Pursuit... in pursuit of God's glory in South Sudan

53... for 1853, the year Hudson Taylor (Peter's missionary hero) set off for China

And for Isaiah 53... one of the greatest expressions of the gospel in the Scriptures

Our Mission

We are called to disciple church leaders in South Sudan and mobilize them as missionaries to their own people.
