Bohrer ya bayyana aikin a kudancin Sudan a matsayin nau'i biyu-na neman taimakawa wajen sake ginawa da warkar da al'umma bayan shekaru na yaki, da kuma kafa coci-coci. Ya bayyana irin gagarumin aikin da ake bukata kawai don sake gina ababen more rayuwa a kudancin Sudan, yankin da ya bayyana kusan ya kai na jihohin kudancin Amurka.

Bohrer ya ce Kudancin Sudan da shugabannin cocinsu suna maraba da manufa ta cocin 'yan'uwa. "Yana da mahimmanci a tuna cewa mun kasance a Sudan tun 1980," in ji shi. Akalla ma’aikatan mishan 16 ne suka yi hidima a Sudan tun daga 1980, kuma hukumar ta kuma tallafa wa ma’aikatan Majalisar Cocin New Sudan guda uku.
"Muna buƙatar shigar da wannan aikin don yin tafiya tare, ba don yin mulki ba, saboda za mu sami amsoshin tare da ɗan Sudan," in ji Bohrer. "Ba mu fara aikin Yesu Kiristi a Sudan ba," in ji shi. “Aikin bishara yana faruwa a can. Za mu shiga cikin saitin don nemo wurinmu a can."
Wannan tafiya ta sa 'yan'uwa su sake haɗuwa da abokan ikiliziya, Bohrer ya ce, kuma zai taimaka wa ma'aikata su yanke shawarar inda za su sanya ma'aikatan mishan. Tsararren lokacin da aka zayyana wa hukumar ya haɗa da ɗaukar ma'aikatan mishan na farko a lokacin bazara mai zuwa.

Hakanan za a ƙirƙiri Majalisar Ba da Shawarwari don taimakawa tare da sadarwa da haɓaka aikin.
Bohrer ya lura cewa lokaci yana da mahimmancin la'akari da batun samar da zaman lafiya a Sudan. Yarjejeniyar zaman lafiya ta Comprehensive ya hada da tanadin cewa a shekarar 2011 Kudancin kasar za su gudanar da zaben raba gardama don sanin ko za ta zama kasa mai cin gashin kanta, ko kuma ta kasance kasa daya da Arewa. Wannan na iya shafar ƙoƙarin manufa na Brotheran'uwa.
Ma'aikatan jakadanci zuwa Sudan za su taimaka wajen samar da nasu tallafin kudi. Bohrer ya kira shi "sabon / tsohon" samfurin, yana ba da ikilisiyoyin da sauran damar da za su tallafa wa ma'aikacin mishan da iyali kai tsaye, yayin da ya ci gaba da haɗa da manufa da ma'aikatansa a cikin tsari da tsarin Babban Hukumar.

Za a aika da katunan addu'a ga ikilisiyoyi da membobin a matsayin tunatarwa don kiyaye ma'aikatan mishan cikin addu'a.
Bohrer ya yarda cewa 'yan'uwa za su iya magance kadan daga cikin ayyukan da ake bukata a kudancin Sudan. "Ayyukan da ake yi a Sudan yana da girma," kuma ya fi kowace darika za ta iya yi, amma da yake tunawa da misalin Yesu na illar yisti akan burodi, ya kara da cewa, "muna iya yin tasiri mai karfi a wani bangare na shi. .”

Ya yi kira ga cocin da ta shirya don tafiya tare da Sudan, "komai tsayi da kuma tsawon lokacin da wannan tafiya ta kasance, saboda tana da yuwuwar zama mafi wahala….
