Sudanese
I have just started getting to know this group of Sudanese refugees who live in San Diego. My coach Dan used to help them out/give them food/hang out and share Christ with them when he was in high school. He took Hilary and I down there to introduce us to these people, and to see if we can get something started with the Biola soccer team and students.
These sudanese refugees came to the US escaping a horrifying civil war in their country. They have poor living conditions, and not enough food to make it through each month, yet they have the biggest smiles I have ever seen.
I'll be posting more about them as I continue to make trips down to SD and as we get the Biola team involved in bringing food, teaching the Bible, and helping the kids with school.
In the meantime, pray for them, pray for peace in their country, and shoot me an email if you want to help in any way (When I asked what we could do to help, they said...well thank you so much. We just need some food, maybe some rice to make it through the month, and towels and sweatshirts would be really great, our kids get cold at night).
I am hoping to get my church involved, and maybe the Student ministries at Biola. It's crazy to see such need inside of such an affluent county.
to read more about these people google "lost boys of Sudan" or "Sudanese refugees"
