Our clinic is very busy since last evening after 13 patients were brought to our clinic yesterday after they had an accident. The car was coming from Rumbek to Tonj and was hired by a man named Ding. The car had a puncture and as the driver tried to control it, it overturned several times. This happened in Morol Akech in Northern Barl Ghazal near Mapel approximate 160 miles away from Tonj. These young men who were riding in the car were hired to come to Tonj to make bricks.

Our medical staff of Dr. Tom, Dennis, Margaret, Stephanie, Pritty together with Dr. Stick were alerted and they all joined hands to save these lives. Praise God for our community health workers because when they heard about the accident they came as fast as they could to give hand. Two of these patients were badly injured, one had a head fracture and the other one his hand is badly injured. Albino and I went to pray for these patients and shared shortly about God and some of them agreed to be coming to our church every Sunday and said they trust God because saved them from the accident. Five of them need to be transferred to Wau for further treatments but the rest might be discharged today or tomorrow. Please pray for these young men to be healed and to accept Jesus as their personal savior.

We thank God no one died but there is one young man missing because they were fourteen in number. Pray for these young men to be healed and the missing one to be found. Also we have surgeries going on with Dr Stick and the team, please pray for God’s divine intervention in these two areas.

God bless you for your generous contribution and for praying for this ministry.

An adult patient was brought to our clinic on 31^st January 2012. His history was that he had conversion the previous night and he could not walk and talk. Joseph Madit (50 years old) was diagnosed of infection of the brain and stroke. On his right side of the body he had a paralysis. The next day (1^st February) the patient regained strength but he had a slurred speech. There was improvement of fingers and toes because they could move. Our doctors Dennis, Stick and Tom prayed for him and continued giving him treatments. On 2^nd February Joseph could lift his hand even to greet people. The following day his strength was full and he could walk but his speech was still slurred. By that time the doctors tried to figure out what caused stroke, because his heart and blood pressure was okay. They all agreed to discharge him the next day but on treatment.

They advised him to come back today for checkup. During his time of discharge he could walk and also communicate but you have to repeat over and over again. Our doctors were very happy with his recovery. Today I went to see him and we prayed together with Dr. Dennis and he was talking and he understands what you tell him. The doctors will be reviewing him every week.

May his name be glorified. Amen.

It was on a Monday evening when Kiir Mayen (7 years) was brought to our clinic by his parents. The boy had two Hernias in both sides. The boy had to spent the night in the clinic so as to prepare him for surgery the following day. This is because he had to fast for at least six hours for the surgery to be performed. Albino our compound manager together with our medical staffs went and prayed together with the boy and his parents.

On Tuesday at around 10.00 a.m the medical staffs together with the Surgeon Dr. Stick went to the hospital and started preparing for the surgery. They called the boy’s parents who were already there prayed with them and then they signed the consent form.

There was a team of 7: the Surgeon Dr Stick, our Nurse Margaret and Dennis the Clinical Officer and Albino compound Manager. The rest were Sudanese staffs one of them being from the Government Hospital. They all joined hands together before surgery and prayed.

The Surgery kicked off at around 11:30 a.m and took four and a half hours and it was successful. After the surgery the boy was taken outside and you could see the joy from the family. Albino prayed for them again.

The Surgeon said he got supported and said it was a joy to work with the team. The boy was brought back to our clinic and after an hour he was awake. Today in the Morning I went to see him and and he is doing much better. The mother(Abak Akuar) said that she is glad that her son is getting better. I ask her if she knows Jesus of which she replied she doesn’t know anything about God. I encouraged her, shared shortly about God. She accepted Jesus as her personal savior and told me she is Going to share with her husband finally I prayed for them. Lets continue to pray for healing for this boy, and for Abak who gave her life to Jesus and also for her husband to accept Christ.

Thank you all for your continued support and for praying for this community.
