A Message From Our President

Dr. Donnie Brake

In 2005, SEA Partners launched the Boma Project—a Christ-centered initiative to bring both spiritual hope and practical support to the Murle tribal community in Boma, South Sudan.

We began by building a Christian school for children in grades K–8, laying a foundation for education where none existed. From there, our mission grew to include vital community development efforts focused on education, clean water, health, and food security.

Rooted in our desire to serve the Lord and share His love, God has continued to expand our reach. What began in Boma has grown to include transformative work in Omiling and Juba, where we now serve the Murle, Kachipo, Jie, and Ofrika tribes. Through our programs, we bring holistic support to some of the most underserved and remote communities in South Sudan.

We are humbled by the doors God has opened and invite you to explore this site to see how He is working across this region. May you be encouraged as you witness His faithfulness in South Sudan.

Our History

In March 2004, a group of Sudanese evangelical church leaders came together with a shared vision—to begin the work of restoring their nation after more than two decades of devastating war. They believed that true healing and lasting hope for a “New Sudan” could only be found through Christ and His Church.

Later that year, Sudan Evangelical Alliance Partners (SEA Partners) was established as a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to put this vision into action. With a commitment to long-term transformation, SEA Partners launched five key initiatives: education, food security, clean water, community health, and evangelism.

Since beginning operations in Boma, South Sudan in 2005, SEA Partners has worked faithfully alongside local leaders and tribal communities to bring holistic, gospel-centered development to some of the country’s most remote and vulnerable areas.
