Our Story
Two years ago, we envisioned completing the original vision of Operation Nehemiah Missions by building a church, a nursery school, a primary school, and a polytechnic institute in the next 5 years between 2021-2025. The goal of this initiative is to provide South Sudanese families returning from exile with services that will serve as a microcosm of self-governance as citizens of an independent country. This will be achieved without relying too much on government welfare or UN-driven relief practices, which have been adopted, copied, and practiced in South Sudan.
The compelling and prevailing motivation of Operation Nehemiah Missions is to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ, thereby bringing people to repentance and eternal salvation for their soul. All our humanitarian and developmental initiatives are to rebuild South Sudan from the ashes of war and persecution. Our core principle is the discipleship of one person, one family, one church, and one community at a time.
Therefore, upon this premise, we envisioned establishing a permanent spiritual house of worship center for prayers, retreat center for peacemaking, community's spiritual stability and healing center from the impact of war and displacement, a Christian academy, and a polytechnic vocational institute that can provide quality education with the Messianic Biblical world view to teach and train the children of our nation to acquire a one-year hands-on state-of-the-art polytechnic institute that can provide vocational training for South Sudanese youth.
The NPI will be for only 12 months of vocational training divided into 3 semesters. Graduates will be deployed into the workforce without spending endless years in college while leaving behind their languishing families. The school will train and keep South Sudanese skilled workers in the country instead of sending them elsewhere for education but once they are done with education, they never come back. About 80% of the skilled workforce and retail industry in South Sudan is imported from other countries. Bethlehem primary school and Nehemiah Polytechnic Institute will bring balance to that disproportionate import of skilled workforce. Entrepreneurial ventures and small business startups are key to revitalizing the economy of South Sudan. South Sudan needs a blue-collar labor force as opposed to a white-collar labor force because the country is still considerably basic, and it will need to set up its basic infrastructures for the next 20 years on the strength of the blue collars.
Nehemiah Polytechnic Institute
Ladies & Gentlemen,
Shalom/Greetings in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. I am Rabbi William Levi, Founder and CEO of Operation Nehemiah Missions International and the Nile Beth Israel Messianic Congregation. Our mission has been operating in South Sudan for the past 30 years and is officially registered with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission of South Sudan. I am thrilled to announce the opening of the Nehemiah Polytechnic Institute, a technical vocational training facility located at our address. J&JMPI is a Polytechnic Technical Institute that debuted on October 2, 2023, under the establishment of ONMI and the Nile Beth Israel Messianic Kehillah.

Operation Nehemiah Missions International’s Statement of Faith:
The primary motivation of Operation Nehemiah Missions is to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ,( (Yeshua the Messiah), bringing people to repentance and eternal Salvation. The welfare of any community rests upon this premise, with the Bible serving as the final authority in all matters of life. . 2 Timothy 3:16- 18. Our initiatives aim to rebuild South Sudan from the ashes of war and persecution, focusing on the discipleship of one person, one family, one church, and one community at a time.
Our Missions and distinctive:
Our primary focus is to prepare services for our people in Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan, returning from exile displaced by the war to take hold of their country. We are committed to establishing a community that enables people to rebuild their faith, lives, families, and community and to build a Godly city upon the Hill that cannot be hidden. We train and disciple women to embrace God, family & motherhood, and fathers to demonstrate the impact of a gospel-centered home.
​
Based on this premise, we aim to create a lasting spiritual center for worship, a retreat center for peacemaking, a hub for community spiritual stability and healing from the effects of war and displacement, a Christian academy, and a vocational institute that offers quality education with a Messianic Biblical worldview. Our goal is to provide South Sudanese youth with a one-year hands-on experience at a state-of-the-art polytechnic institute that can equip them with vocational skills.
​
Our goal is to address the issue of brain draining that has plagued South Sudan for decades by providing vocational services that will allow individuals to remain in their own country as blue-collar workers. This will not only enable them to create their own jobs and become entrepreneurs but also improve their standard of living and provide for their families.
