He worked at the mission stations at Akot, Gel River and Panekar, finally ending his time with the mission in Rumbek, where he saw the rapid changes as Sudan gained independence. As an ordained minister he had a central pastoral ministry, but was also very involved in education, and a certain amount of building.
