Happy New Year!
As we step into this exciting new year, our hearts overflow with gratitude for YOU—our partners, supporters, and friends. Because of your unwavering prayers and generous financial partnership, In Deed and Truth Ministries is now celebrating 27 years of service in Tonj, South Sudan! Your support continues to fuel our vision and mission, and together, we’re making a lasting difference.
Last year was truly remarkable—full of growth, hope, and transformation. We ended the year on a high note, completing the building of our new ward, which will officially open in February.
This year, Zeke and I are thrilled to embark on four journeys to South Sudan, including the special ward dedication and opening ceremony in February. If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the heart of our ministry firsthand, we invite you to join us—whether on this trip or another throughout the year. We also have trips in June, August and November. We would love to travel together, share the vision of In Deed And Truth Ministries, and make unforgettable memories as we serve the Lord and the people of South Sudan side by side. Reach out if you’re interested—we can’t wait to connect and journey with you!
Celebrating 2025!
Here’s a glimpse of what your partnership accomplished in the past year:
Our Maternal and Pediatric Mission Hospital provided compassionate care to 54,720 patients, treating sick children, supporting pregnant mothers, and delivering over 1,000 babies in a safe, loving environment. Every life touched was also offered spiritual care, with chaplains praying and sharing the gospel—many chose to follow Christ and left with renewed hope.
Our Community Health Evangelism (CHE) program continues to transform lives and communities in powerful ways. Today, we’re active in 120 villages and have trained over 7,000 dedicated CHE volunteers. These volunteers have made over 70,000 home visits, sharing vital health and spiritual lessons with families, resulting in more than 15,000 decisions to follow Christ!

Take Action Today!
Our church family is growing! With 41 church plants and growing attendance, we welcomed thousands of newcomers in 2025, witnessed many decisions for Christ, and celebrated hundreds of baptisms. The Tonj Bible Institute is now equipping 55 national pastors to lead with wisdom and love. For as little as $25 a month you can invest in the equipping of an IDAT pastor.

We’re excited to build on this momentum in the year ahead—expanding programs, deepening relationships, and reaching even more communities. But we can’t do it alone. Will you join us again this year? Your prayers, support, and generosity are the heartbeat of this ministry.
Pray for our teams, share our story, and consider making a donation to help us continue this life-changing work. Every gift, every prayer, every partnership matters.
On behalf of the IDAT Team and Board of Directors, thank you for being part of this journey.
