“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.” – Isaiah 60:1

Samuel our clinic chaplain evangelizes to the patients every day and he ensures that every patient is given the chance to receive prayers and Jesus as their savior. Today more than 150 people were seen in the clinic and Samuel had a chance to interact with each one of them.

Today there was a lady whose child was seen by  our Clinical officer Dennis. The lady was kind of fierce. When the Doctor tried to examine her child with the stethoscope she protested and tried to stop him. But the Community Health Worker, Dorothy explained to her what was being done to her child. Dorothy offered to pray for her, but she protested again and asked her what prayer is. They were two other patients in the same room and they explained to her the meaning of prayer. Dorothy also explained to her and she agreed reluctantly to be prayed for. Later Samuel prayed for her and encouraged her with the word of God until she was convinced and she said she believed about God and his son Jesus Christ.

Another woman told us that she believes that there is a God who lives in heaven and she is willing to share to her community, but the problem is that they will not believe her. She said she tried once but the elders called and warned her not to mention Jesus  again, because they have their own traditions and the way they worship their god. The elders believe that their women might became prostitutes if they believe anything taught in the towns. After we shared with her, she became bold and said she would stick to what she now believed about Jesus.

Please pray that God would touch their hearts and open their eyes so that they may see his goodness and light.

“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the father.” – John 14:13

A couple of weeks ago we have been having premature deliveries in the clinic, thank God no more. This month of July most cases are placenta praevia, which is caused mostly by infections. Thus causing virginal bleeding. We have transferred almost five patients with this problem to Wau Hospital.

A mother of 28 years old was brought yesterday to the clinic. Nyibol Manyual was diagnosed of placenta praevia while she was seven months pregnant. She was having virginal bleeding which was painless. The Midwife on duty Annie, examined her and admitted her for complete bed rest for one day. Today in the morning at around 4:30 am she started bleeding profusely.

Annie contacted the doctors who ordered her to be transferred urgently to a second level facility, in Wau Hospital. I.V. fluid of normal saline was fixed because the pulse rate was high and the blood pressure was low. The urgency for her referral was that she needed urgent blood transfusion and emergency theatre to save her and the foetus.

Please pray for her as she is still admitted in Wau Hospital. So many car accidents are happening on the way to Wau, pray for our ambulance for protection.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9

We have trained over thirty students for Community Health Workers in our clinic. Due to a lot of reasons the number had gone up to 13 CHWs who are still in training. Peter Malock had been one of the greatest success in the training. He was among the first students. They were eleven and he is the only one remaining. He had been a very big blessing to this Ministry. He has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. Peter has a very good attitude, eager to learn, he has built a vision for himself for this Ministry.

He had been a role model and a counselor to the other CHWs. He is also among the three most qualified CHW and due to this reason, he has received an extra medical and spiritual training and at the moment he is the one running the Kingdom Assignment Sudan clinic in the Maloney.

In Maloney he is doing registration, triage, diagnosis, treatment and referral and for every patient and accompanying person he shares the gospel and prays for them.

“Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of you labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” – Psalm 128:1-2

Gabriel has trained as a Community Health Worker for two and a half years in our clinic. He is young, God fearing and among the three best CHWs in our clinic Peter Malock being the first, Gabriel then Emmanuel. He is very bright and has the highest ability in the clinic. He is also the best translator at devotion. We are now training him to share in the morning devotions and to lead Sunday service in our church.

Gabriel acts as a reference point person for the rest of CHWs in terms of skills, good behavior, unlimited commitment. When new CHWs joins us, he takes an initiative to introduce them and interview them even before Dennis who is in charge does so. Gabriel completed high school few months ago, and he was taking the night shifts because of school. But this did not stop him from working hard. Besides being a CHWs and studying he had also joined a discipleship class on Saturdays together with Peter Malock and Emmanuel.

On March he did his final exam in high school. Gabriel emerged the second best student in the county with high marks. He also started practicing to play piano in the church and it was his initiative, nobody ask him to do that. Nobody is teaching him but he is learning by himself. He has the zeal of serving God and also his community. We are trusting God that he will have a chance to join medical course probably in Kenya to study clinical officer or medical officer.

Please pray for him, for healing to his shoulders, funds for sponsorship for the medical course he wants to pursue.
