Rev. Dr. Nikkel

The Rev. Dr. Marc Nikkel (1950-2000) was a priest of our diocese who dedicated his life and ministry to the people of Sudan. He is remembered there as a teacher and evangelist who was instrumental in the exponential growth of the Christian faith during the 1980's and 1990's and as a peace-maker who helped bring together more than two thousand feuding tribes in southern Sudan. We celebrate the Feast of Marc Nikkel on September 3, the anniversary of his death.
