Our New Mailing Address

We are grateful for your faithful partnership in the ministry God is building in South Sudan. To better serve our partners and strengthen the security of all mailed gifts and correspondence, we have established a new permanent secure bank lockbox mailing address.

Please update your records and use this address for all future mailed donations, checks, and correspondence. This secure lockbox is professionally managed through our banking system, allowing donations and ministry mail to be processed safely, efficiently, and confidentially. New Permanent Mailing Address:

IDAT,
PO Box 844667,
Los Angeles, CA 90084-4667

Our previous PO Box will continue forwarding mail for the next year to ensure a smooth transition. However, if you use your bank’s online bill pay service for recurring donations, we kindly ask that you log into your bank account and update the mailing address as soon as possible.

We also invite you to consider using the new secure ACH giving feature now available through our website.  ACH donations help reduce processing costs and provide a safe efficient way to support the ministry consistently.

Your generosity continues to bring hope, healing, medical care, and the love of Christ to vulnerable families and children in South Sudan. Thank you for standing with us in this mission.

Expanding the CHE impact

With the continued rapid growth of our Community Health Evangelism (CHE) program, we recently completed a census of IDAT’s 138 CHE villages and discovered that we are now impacting approximately 110,000 people through health education, the gospel, water wells, community schools, and church planting. Over the past decade, this growth has reflected steady, faithful multiplication across the region.

We were also encouraged to learn that there are now 8,880 fully active Community Health Evangelists serving diligently in villages across the area.

Using new data collection tools, we are now better able to measure the health impact CHE is having and early results are deeply encouraging. In households that receive CHE lessons mosquito net use increased from 7% to 89% while regular hand washing rose from 34% to 89%! These improved practices are also strongly associated with lower rates of malaria and diarrhea in surveyed homes. In April alone, our CHE volunteers visited 9,843 homes, sharing these health initiatives and the gospel. This resulted in 1,401 people praying and accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Seeing measurable physical improvements alongside spiritual transformation is a huge encouragement to our team. Simple, faithfully taught lessons through local volunteers can truly save lives!

Refreshed for Ministry

This month, we were grateful to send a team from In Deed and Truth Ministries (IDAT) to Kenya for the final phase of ‘Diploma in Pastoral Ministry’ training with Intensive Care Ministries. By God’s grace, missionaries Ben and Michael together with Sen. Pastor Mabior and TBI Director Pastor William, successfully completed their studies and received their diplomas, giving us four Bible teachers for the Tonj Bible Institute in South Sudan.

Before returning home, the team also attended the “Love the Bible and Change Africa” Conference at Calvary Chapel Eldoret.

The conference featured pastors, including David Guzik, Ken Graves, and others who brought powerful teaching from God’s Word. Our team returned spiritually refreshed, encouraged, and better equipped to continue the work of ministry in Tonj.

“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” – 2 Timothy 2:2
