A Few of the B-Stud Guys


Here's a pic of me with a few of the guys I'm discipling for my last three weeks in Sudan.  The boy in the chair is Donato.  He's the boy who was struck with a machete 1-2 years ago, who was brought to the clinic in Tonj and had his life saved.  He says he's truly thankful for the change of events in his life, otherwise he would have never known Jesus.  Now he's 13 years old.  He can be pretty shy at times, but he's definitely a keeper.

The first man to the right of me is Mobuir.  Today, Mobuir is very hungry to know God.  But his life as a child is a completely different story.  As a kid he burned down multiple homes in his village, including his own (twice).  It was deliberate.  He almost killed his sister with a spear as she slept, until his brother saw him and stopped him.  He later ran away from home to the town and similarly became a terror on the streets.  But eventually he made his way to Tonj and met Sebit and Suzy.  Soon after he also met Jesus.  Since then his life has been forever changed.
