They became orphans in less than one day. But your generous support made an incredible impact on these orphans. During tragedy, children are often the least prepared to cope with the consequences of evil.
Since late 2011, Mission to Children supporters have followed, prayed for, and supported the relocation and (present) rehabilitation of 170 orphans in the state of Jonglei, South Sudan. The lives of these children were abruptly shattered when a rival tribe launched a violent and devastating attack on their village. The children fled to nearby caves during the attack. Soon afterwards, local Christian pastors recognized the immediate need to move these orphans to safety in order to help them heal emotionally and physically in a Christ-centered environment.
While their journey to full recovery has not ended, you can join us in giving thanks that they are safely in the care of Sudanese pastors and counselors dedicated to their well-being.
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27, NKJV
