 "ONE
THING" Luke 10:41-42 & Luke 18:22
by the Rev.
Abraham Yel Nhial
The 3rd Annual Wesley Lecture
March 30 2p.m. Hagan Chapel
Abraham Yel Nhial is one of the Lost Boys of Sudan who has
relocated to the U.S. He is referred to as the spiritual leader
of the Lost Boys for his commitment, work and outstanding
achievements for the southern Sudanese. He speaks at colleges,
schools, churches, and community-conscious groups around the
country about the Lost Boys of Sudan and the plight of the
Sudanese during the decade-long civil war raging in his country.
He lives in Atlanta, Ga.
The book "Lost Boy No More" tells his incredible true story -
but the story is not his alone. As a 9-year-old child, Abraham
found himself orphaned as civil war in his homeland of Sudan
ravaged his entire village because they refused to embrace
Islam. His journey is one of a perilous walk along with 35,000
lost boys of Sudan who fled to Ethiopia. Abraham and others like
him made it to the border but hard times were not over as they
endured the refugee camps of Ethiopia. Abraham becomes “a lost
boy no more” when he discovers real salvation through Jesus
Christ. "Lost Boy No More" also presents a history of Sudan and
the persecution of Christians by Islamic militants.
