Rosa and the Kids
Rosa Ewing has been volunteering with our ministry for the past few months and is currently serving as our stateside assistant, working alongside Jim and Dena Ennis. When the opportunity came up for me to travel to South Sudan I was very excited that Rosa wanted to come along and help me. One of the tasks she will oversee is to make profiles of the grandchildren that live with Mama Sabet. These are our nieces and nephews and each one is in need of a long term sponsorship. As soon as we are ready we’ll let you know how you can get involved with that. There are 14 children ranging in age from 13 years to 6 months old. That’s if Rosa hasn’t sponsored them all herself!!!
How’s Mama Doing?
Thank you to everyone who has asked how Sabet’s mum is doing. She is definitely in her last days here and soon to be taken into the arms of her Savior. We are blessed to have a chance to be with her. She told me, “these children are now your children and I can go in peace”. Every day we have with her now is a gift.
Home
It’s Tuesday night, 10 pm and I’m trying to cool down from the over 110 F day. It’s so peaceful and quiet right now. Thank you Lord for bringing me home, even if it’s just for a short time. I’m still recovering from the emotional roller-coaster of yesterday’s arrival at the airstrip.
It’s so good to be here, where I belong, with Sabet, with my people, who God has joined me to. 16 years ago we made vows and the verse the Lord gave us as we committed our lives to Him and each other was from Ruth 1:16, “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.”
I’ll try to update every day and share ways you can be praying for us here.
Grace and peace,
Suzy
Safe Deliveries
Madelena Adut Ateng from the village of Madol is the mother of this beautiful baby girl, the third baby to deliver in our clinic today. In a country where we have one of the highest maternal mortality rates, it is always a joy to assist mothers in safe delivery.
We thank God for the privilege to serve the people of Tonj with a maternity program that saves lives every day. Please pray for wisdom and favor for our midwives, nurses, doctors and community health workers.
