3rd Birthday and not much to celebrate
Tens of thousands have been killed; 1.1 million people – more than half of them children – have been displaced from their homes; almost 5 million are in dire need of humanitarian assistance; and predictions of famine in some areas look increasingly likely to be fulfilled.
Although the third and latest ceasefire appears to be holding in many areas, rivers remain unfished and crops unharvested. UN estimates that 50,000 children could die from malnutrition and warns of the loss of an entire generation of South Sudanese youth. Cholera in Gudele has been contained, however there is a new outbreak in Torit. Director Mickey Witcher who you prayed for last year that had suffered a heart attack is having a heart catherazation, Thursday July 10.
Give thanks that the Cholera outbreak has been held back in our village at a time we are addressing nutrition and hydration needs.
Pray for our in country evangelists ( safety, clear head, and gospel to flow as time is not our friend.
Pray for the Church in Gudele as they continue to share the love of Jesus in difficult times.
Pray for our stateside director, Mickey Witcher, as he undergoes surgery.
Please share this with someone today.
