VILLAGE OF HOPE

Here is an update from Jimmy and RoxAnne Cox:

Since opening our clinic in Doro, South Sudan, this March, SIM has been able to assist 53 malnourished children! We've set up a "nutrition village" called Village of Hope which provides housing for mothers to stay with their malnourished children for several weeks while their children are treated. During that time, mothers receive teaching on nutrition, cooking & basic health care. The housing is necessary for parents who have to walk many hours (even several days walk) to the clinic.

PRAISE GOD with us for our terrific medical team at Doro & PRAY for the physical, emotional & spiritual stamina they need to continue their crucial ministries.
