Delivery by Grace

Some of you may know that YWAM Arua is a sister base to YWAM Yei in Southern Sudan. YWAM Arua handles much of the logistical support for YWAM Yei's visitors and administrative needs. Most of the visitors going to Yei pass through Arua, and we get together for joint staff retreats and other programmes.

So it is great to bring you news of an exciting event that took place at the Yei YWAM base a few weeks ago. Our YWAM base there runs a small primary health care clinic called "Only Grace" which is much appreciated by the local community who are several miles from the nearest hospital. The clinic workers regularly assist in pre-natal care and the delivery of babies.

This delivery, however, was unique in that the pregnant woman was paralyzed from the waist down. From the time she was 9 years old, this mother has been crippled with polio and unable to walk.

Thankfully, with the help of Lia Bierly and Miriam Owot, the mother was able to deliver her baby successfully.

Praise the Lord, for it's only His Grace which could do it!
