The Nuba Mountains

As you know, the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, Africa hold a special place in my heart. What I experienced there, although I have tried, has never been adequately expressed in words...it changed my life.

What most people don't know is they are in the middle of a war between the the governments of the North and the South. Sudan is set to succeed into two states, the North and the South. However, the North is less then willing to let go of the Southern portion of the country as that is where the oil is.

The people of Gidel are a peaceful and loving people...Muslim, Tribal, and Christians all living together in peace. However, they are stuck in a horrible place...the middle.

Please pray for my Sudan. My friends are there and I hoped (and still hope) to return there once I am finished with nursing school. It holds a piece of my heart...

You won't hear about the war on US TV or read about it in our the papers...I don't know why but you won't.

Please, as the people of the Nuba Mountains suffer, pray for them, pray for their children. The Northern government bombed schools before...I have no doubt they will do it again.
