Extream pain: Sudan
THis is an amazing story, all the stories are, but really there not stories, these things actually happened to these people and to these children. I don't know how people read this, but I'm hoping people can get a small idea about the passion that we as free Christians should serve and honor our Lord Jesus Christ....
I Peter 4:16 "However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name."
"Say it with us," the soldiers screamed, kicking and punching the boy's faces and abdomens. "Allah is God, and Mohammed is his prophet. Say it!"
The four young Sudanese boys cried and screamed out for their mothers but they refused to repeat the words that would mean saving their lives yet renouncing their Christianity.Their red blood began to flow across their black skin, but they would not give up their faith in Christ.
The older teenage boys looked on in horror. They had seen their Southern Sudanese familes murdered by sword-weilding Islamic fighters. Now they watched as their four young friends and relatives - the youngest only five years old - were beaten to dealth.
Already the soldiers had forced each older boy to lie over hot coals and ordered them to repeat the Muslim creed and join the Islamic faith. None of the boys would say the words despite the excruciating pain.
There were fourteen boys and thirteen girls abducted in the raid that day. The girls have never been located and were likely sold as slaves or concubines in Northern Sudan. All of the boys were totured, but none relented.
The next night the older boys escaped, still bearing the scars of the previous nights. Not one renounced his faith.
