SYNOPSIS: Arlene Schuiteman grew to maturity in the sheltering fold of a loving family farm in northwest Iowa. During the blizzard of 1951, Arlene experienced a supernatural call to foreign missions. She followed the call to the Nuer tribe at a tiny mission station in Nasir, South Sudan. Over eight years, her gentle hands nursed thousands. Sioux Center Sudan tells story after story of the nearly heartbreaking struggle to advance medical care in a context that had persisted in stasis for thousands of years. In Nasir, Arlene became best friends with Eleanor Vandevort whose own version of those years is told in the beautiful book
