TORIT, 26 December 2013 [Gurtong] – Preaching to thousands who congregated to worship God and Christ’s birth in Torit, the leader deeply appealed to South Sudanese masses particularly the leaders to work hard for what it can unite them but not for what divides.
“I strongly appeal to you all as mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, uncles and aunties, cousins and all that let us stand and rise up to work hard for what it can it unite us but not to work for what it can divide us. Salvation took place in Mary, the mother of Jesus, the saviour of the world whom God sacrificed to us on earth,” he said.
Present during yesterday’s annual observation Day was the state Governor Louis Lobong Lojore alongside some of his cabinet and Members of the state Parliament.
