Overview

Mission

The primary goal of Ends of the Earth Ministries is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who have never before heard His name and to equip individuals who have the same purpose. To this end EOTE has built and operates both a medical clinic and schools in Eastern Africa and conducts outreach to bring the love of Christ to extremely impoverished remote tribes. EOTE also provides training media for those who want to become missionaries.

What it reported doing in 2025

Little Lambs Academy is located in Narus South Sudan. The academy provides housing and schooling grades K-High School for children who are members of the Taus tribal group a poverty-stricken people living the most remote region of the Narus desert without permanent homes and tribal land as well the Toposa tribal group who are local residents in the region. The school currently has 900 students and each is fed one meal at lunch each day with light breakfast of tea and biscuits. For many of the children this is the only food they get each day. The school provides education stability and hope for the future and the ability to survive. The facility also houses a full care childrens home for 127 children for whom we provide all needs including housing clothing food schooling and medical care. The school also teaches its students agricultural skills as they raise crops using recently acquired land.
