Today a team of eight of us made a home visit to Mary Gai. She has served in the medical clinic faithfully washing the linens and cleaning. She recently gave birth to her ninth baby and because our team was in Kenya over Christmas we did not assist in her delivery. We were eager to see her newborn son and meet her family. The Southern Sudanese feel so honored when you go to their homes, it’s amazing how powerful the impact has for such a little effort on our part. They feel valued…oh if only they knew how much Jesus valued them. The baby is doing really well, eating well and putting on weight nicely. We were able to encourage Mary with some health advice for her, the baby and family. Then we prayed over her home, blessed her children and her family. Mary’s husband works for the government and told us it’s the reason he can’t attend church. Even though some of the children come to Sunday school we rarely see them in church so we invited them to come on Sunday. Pray Mary brings her son to the clinic for his vaccinations on Friday and also attends church with or without her husband.
