Christ is the example of caring and healing

that shapes this ministry and directs its path.

South Sudan became the newest country in the world on July, 9, 2011, after a civil war with the north that lasted almost a quarter of a century.Now this new country is trying to build a life in a good government and an infrastructure that has never been there. 
Only 24% of the population have sanitation facilities and about 74% have access to any drinking water."
Often this means walking miles everyday to carry water that is not safe to drink.  
 
 

 
During rainy season these puddles are a place to bath,
wash clothes and obtain drinking water.
 
 
 

 

 

Statistics for 2007 state "41% of children are underweight

and 43% suffer from stunted growth.

 

 

 

 

 
If you are one of the few (1 in 1200 ) to be able to afford a hospital bed (no money, no treatment) 
your family must bring your food and provide for your care.
