South Sudan: Transforming lives

Written by Admin 2 27 Feb 2013

South Sudan has a low rate of life expectancy. Children born with complications are at a significant disadvantage. But the lifes of Arual and her family were transformed with the help of a German missionary and MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship). Arual was born with Spina Bifida and noone expected her to live long. But God had other plans. A missionary visiting Arul’s wider family heard about Arual and made enquiries at a hospital in Kenya. She discovered a paediatric neurosurgeon specialising in deformed spines who treats patients from all over Africa. Arual travelled from her village in South Sudan to Juba flew with MAF to Nairobi on a free flight provided by MAF. Within 24 hours she was undergoing surgery. When she was well and ready to leave, MAF organised to fly her back to her overjoyed family. The father praised God and testified that now he believes God really loves him.

Praise: God for the amazing plans that he has for Arual, her family and each of their lives. (Jer.29:11)
