Damare, a small Sudanese boy was taken as a slave and forced to tend camels
after his village was attacked by radical Muslims. One day Damare, who had been
raised in a Christian home, snuck away from his master to attend a church
service. When he returned, his Muslim master was waiting for him and accused of
committing a deadly act, "meeting with infidels." The master then dragged Damare
into a field where he nailed his feet and knees into a large board while the boy
cried out in agony.
Damare was miraculously rescued and has told The Voice of the Martyrs that just
as Jesus was nailed and forgave, he forgives also. What bold faith from a simple
Sudanese boy!
Damare is not alone in the persecution he has endured. The Muslim government of
Khartoum in the North has declared a jihad, or holy war, against the mostly
Christian South. Omar Hassan al-Turabi, an Islamic leader, has stated that
anyone who opposes Islam "has no future." Since 1985, approximately two million
have perished due to the genocide. Families in the South are terrorized-fathers
killed, mothers r*ped, and children sold into slavery. Yet in the midst of these
atrocities, the Christians in Sudan remains strong, worshiping their Savior and
leading others to Him. Thankfully, in recent months the onslaughts have begun to
subside and peace talks are on the table.
The boy in the article above, Damare, has now received some assistance from
workers with The Voice of the Martyrs. His wounds are still open and additional
medical attention as well as some rehabilitation is still needed. (VOM is
looking into further assistance.)
