The True Story
The True Story of Abraham Nhial - one of the Lost Boys of South Sudan
This is the story of Abraham Nhial, who had to leave his home in southern Sudan after the civil war broke out in 1983. He became a part of the Lost Boys, a group of 35,000 boys who walked over a thousand miles in search of freedom. He shares the story of his life and how he found faith and the strength to forgive in the midst of tragedy.
Can you imagine being nine years old and seeing your entire village destroyed because they refused to embrace radical Islam? That’s what happened to the Lost Boys.
