My friend Ben

I had lunch today with my friend Ben. He and his family came from Sudan to Australia as refugees, and in 2007 I had the opportunity to go back to Sudan with him for the first time in over 20 years. We hiked around one of the most remote mountainous regions in central Sudan called the Nuba Mountains. Ben is a church pastor and works hard to support other Sudanese refugees living in Brisbane, as well as mobilizing them to contribute to the lives of Sudanese people who still call the Nuba Mountains home.
