Iris Global, South Sudan and Uganda
When civil war escalated in South Sudan in 2016, Carolyn Figlioli together with 150 children left in her care was in between the warring parties. Without any help and support of locals who had fled for fear, she had to find a way to get the children out of South Sudan and at the same time had to fight with a government that didn’t want to let her and the children go. Carolyn has changed sides – from a middle-class American upbringing she moved to the garbage dumps and the humid jungle of South Sudan. She experienced real-life adventures and miracles of God and is acquainted with mysterious witch doctors as well as with children who have severely suffered from civil war. All of this might push you to despair … however, there is Jesus whom she follows step by step … Carolyn is heading up the ministry of Iris in South Sudan and in Uganda where amongst others she is in charge of the Children’s Village – a place where orphaned and neglected children find a loving home and encounter their heavenly Father.
