Achol is from Thiet village 24 miles away and she was brought to our clinic last Friday night.  Her husband stabbed her in the abdomen two nights before, thought he killed her because she was unconscious and dragged her body to the forest where she was left to die.  When she regained consciousness she was not able to move or even call out.  Eventually someone found her and brought her to us.  When she arrived here her guts were out, a very difficult thing to see. Dr. Tom and Dennis did the best they could with the limited resources we have in our clinic and they made her stable so she could make the jouney to Wau and get surgery.
Suzy and I shared the gospel with her before she left and even when she seemed to be very weak, she was still able to pray and accept jesus as Lord and Savior.  We knew the situation was grave and Achol was hanging on a very thin thread between life and death, that’s why we were so clear with her and her family explaining what might happen and what the Bible says in regards to life after death.
Achol’s mother was there and we shared about the hope we have in Jesus for life after death and His healing even in the most challenging of circumstances.  I could see a glimpse of hope in her face and I am sure it meant something special in her most time of needs.
I was glad she prayed and I was glad the ambulance was there to help.  We really thank our Lord Jesus for providing this vehicle to Achol, to give her a chance to save her live and be the tool for her to hear the gospel message and be saved.  Our God is so good if He gave us His live what else that can be withheld from us in order to be saved and know Him!!!

He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32

The doctors in Wau teaching hospital were glad to see we have an ambulance and impressed by the health care Tonj is receiving. We paid for her surgery about $150 and they received the patient and prepared for surgery.

Today our ambulance took it’s second patient to Wau with an urgent heart condition.   Our staff were told Achol died that morning, five days after getting the surgery.  Please pray for this family.  We are confident Achol is with Jesus.
