In 1999, Lillian Klepp heard a speaker talk about the plight of orphans and widows in Sudan. For more than 20 years, Sudan was in a vicious civil war that left more than 2 million people dead and 6 million people homeless. The fighting, hunger and disease left thousands of women and orphans with no place to go. Stirred by this message, Lillian prayed a simple prayer, “Lord, what can I do?” The Lord’s response? “Sell all you have and give it to the poor.” Believing that this was God’s call to them, Dennis and Lillian sold all of their belongings and moved to Sudan in 2001 to begin their journey of giving to the poor with their lives. Currently Harvesters has two campuses in South Sudan, one in Yei and the other in Terekeka where we care for just over 200 orphans. We have two primary schools that provide education to over 700 children and in Yei, we have a hospital that cares for thousands of vulnerable women and children each year.
