Our member Elizabeth Bolin went to South Sudan last year as many of you know to support the work of a school.  She has graciously arrangement to have a speaker come to SRA for free to share information about the South Sudan.  Please come to meet and listen to Dr. Clarke McIntosh, a doctor serving for the last 2.5 years as a medical missionary in one of the world's most impoverished countries, South Sudan.  He has provided medical care to the indigenous Dinka people.  Maintained by relief ministry Mustard Seed International (MSI), the Akot Medical Mission is the only medical facility for many miles in the harsh rural surroundings of South Sudan.

Dr. McIntosh has had multiple experiences with what he calls the “tough, gracious people” of South Sudan. He has had a front-row seat to witness some of the strongest resiliency of the human condition.
