A FRIEND who is a missionary in South Sudan shared this link on Facebook. This "silent" war is in Sudan, not South Sudan, but it is a war against people who just like those in South Sudan want their freedom.

I watched it and was terribly moved by it. What will we do? Stories like this unfortunately are not new, but the more we know, does it just desensitize us
or WILL THIS TIME we do something DIFFERENT?
Please help me think of ideas of what we can do! And then share those ideas!
Maybe by making the link BIG, more will see its importance and click on it.
Now, I'm editing this because today my daughter told me about a meeting she went to at her church with her teen (almost teen) daughter where they were learning about Joseph Kony.
I've known about Joseph Kony for YEARS, but an American needs to WORK IN UGANDA and Democratic Republic of Congo to have heard about him.
Why does this matter?
BECAUSE for 25 years now, the world has given him and his Lord's Resistance Army a pass.
Even the book, Girl Soldier, The story of Hope for Northern Uganda's Children,
Why it matters and What you Can do
Doesn't seem to have reached the multitude of Christians in America.
How do we create RAGE over such atrocities?
Oh, if anyone's interested in the book, it's written by Faith J.H. McDonnell and Grace Akallo.
The Preface is by Henry Orombi, Archbishop, Anglican Church of Uganda and Dan Haseltine, of Jars of Clay wrote the Foreword.
