Sudan Refugees
Tel Aviv, Israel
We have all heard of the Lost Boys of Sudan who were driven out of their country in the 90s by the 2nd Sudanese Civil war.
Among them was Martin, now a seminary student and refugee leader in Israel. Soon he will return to the Sudan to help refugees rebuild their lives. He writes of his vision:
My country’s civil war left 2 million dead, my parents among them. Hundreds of thousands had to flee as refugees. I was among them. It has been a long journey of many years. Along the way, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In a dream He has called me to return to the Sudan. “How can my people understand unless someone goes and teaches them my Word?” Christ asked. I made a vow that I would obey. Now I am in Bible college and by God’s grace will return to the Sudan after finishing. My vision is to help my fellow refugees scattered from the war. We will prepare a better world in Jesus’ name for ourselves and the coming generation. I will never turn my back on them.
