A Blessing to the Community by Nurse Sham Musyoki

December 9, 2013 Suzy Kuj

In Deed And Truth Ministries clinic exists to bless the community of Tonj and Glorify God though our good works. We not only provide a wide variety of health services which include immunization, maternity services and curative services to pregnant mothers, breastfeeding mothers and children under the age of five years, we also pray for every patient and believe the Lord brings each and every person to us for that purpose.

Each Community Health worker has been trained specifically by In Deed and Truth to work alongside our doctors and nurses. As we focus more on prevention measures like immunization and health awareness we have seen this area of our ministry grow rapidly. South Sudan has one of the world’s greatest infant mortality rates with most children under five not vaccinated at birth putting them at high risk to the many deadly diseases affecting our area. We praise God for the opportunity to be a part of helping these little ones and saving lives daily.

Joseph: A Disciple of Christ by Pastor Kibe

November 30, 2013 Kibe Mwangi

Joseph Madingdit is one of our community health worker. He is a believer and have been very committed at the church. He has been helping a lot with translation in the devotions, at church and with Sunday school, as well as cleaning our church on Sunday mornings. He stands out among the rest of the people we have in service which he does with humility and joy. I have been having discipleship classes with him and he is very faithful in attending.

November Blog — Joseph serving in Church

Joseph comes from Akop in Tonj North County. He tells me that most of his fellow villagers have not heard the good news of out Lord Jesus Christ. There is no evangelism going on there. He has a passion to see his fellow villagers come to Christ. He has a plan of going back to the village during the Christmas season and he plans to share Christ with the people there. He hopes that God would use him to bring many to the Kingdom. One of his friends has a small portable video player and Joseph hopes that he can borrow it and use it to show the Jesus film to his villagers.

Pray for Joseph as he offers his service to the body of Christ here in Tonj.

Pray that he will continue to grow spiritually in a steady way.

Pray that God will use Him at home when he goes for Christmas.

Pray that he will get the video player for him to show the Jesus movie.

Flooding in Tonj!

September 29, 2013 Sabet Kuj

This year we had alot of rain that we praise God for! this caused a lot of flooding in many areas around Tonj town.

At first it was in different towns and village in the same Warrap State. But from last week we had so much water from rivers over burst their banks that made many people abandon their homes, farms and seek refuge in higher ground like the main roads. in this area there are no Hills nor Munitions, its very flat with many swamps.

More than 250 Houses have been destroyed . Sorghum, Ground nuts fields and gardens have been completely submerged in water, destroying everything these people were growing.

The newly appointed commissioner is trying his best to help but nothing so far reached the people. Though the people are hopeful. Government were given Mosquito nets but they have to figure a way to bring them from the state capital in kuajok to the areas hit by the flood, that is about 5 hours away from Tonj.

Please pray for protection from diseases and infection from the this situation of flood and also a provision for food and shelter for all the families effected by this natural disaster.

George is our night guard, bcause of the heavy rains, his house collapse on one side. It is currently being renovated by Duncan our builder from the compound with his crew. (see photos below)

Updates from the ANC clinic, by Annie and Sham

September 20, 2013 Sabet Kuj

The attached is a photo of a patient by the name Anyang Adher who came from Mabior Yar which is about 4hrs walk to our clinic. She came with Antepartum Heamorrhage at a gestational age of 34weeks. She has not been attending our ANC clinic may be because of the distance. On examination there was active bleeding and needed urgent referral to a bigger hospital for possible ceaserian section to safe the life of the mother and the baby. They were urgently reffered to Wau Teaching and referral hospital on our Ambulance accompanied by Santo-A community health . She is doing fine now.
We thank God for Indeed and Truth ministies for the health care and services its giving to the people in and around Tonj.

Sham

This mother is by the name Mary Agum from a village known as yapango, near Tonj Town. She has been attending our ANC clinic from the start of the Year. We have visited her in her home during our regular Home visits. She had previously lost her baby at birth during her first pregnancy. She usually had prolonged labour due to macrosomic baby and with poor Birth assistance the baby died because it was being conducted at home by Traditional Birth Assistant.

During this time, she came to our clinic for delivery and it was not a easy delivery. We had to conduct the delivery for over two hours and finally the baby was born but slightly with birth asphyxia. I resuscitated the baby with assistance from Sham ( Nurse/midwife), Stephany ( E- Assistant) and Rebecca- a community Health Nurse.

We praise God for that and especially the Indeed and Truth Ministry for bringing a health facility to needy people because it was a difficult delivery. The baby is now doing fine and the mother is very happy to have a health bouncing baby boy especially after she had lost the previous baby after delivery.

Glorifying God,

Annie.
