arrow icon. A Journey’s Reflection 
A child directs a donkey in Dondona, an Arab village in Southern Darfur, that has received families displaced by fighting between Arab communities. Sudan is a place of contrasts: dusty and dry, lush and green; Muslim and Christian; peaceful and hostile. It is also a place where one can see Easter hope springing up in corners where once all hope was lost. You can see it on the faces of children who attend school -- be it under mango trees or in thatch-roofed classrooms.

Patients wait to be examined and treated by medical volunteers at the first medical clinic in Yei, set up by the Holston and East Africa conferences. In 2006, the Holston Annual Conference, having decided to send a team to Yei in Southern Sudan, requested assistance from Global Ministries' Africa office staff. The idea for this trip sprang from a chance meeting between Holston Conference members and the "Lost Boys of Sudan."
