Oh, thank you. I want to finish the story about Peter, this young child who was taken out of Episcopalian Sunday School by the devil's on horse.

Well, let's let many people who are tuning in aren't familiar. Maybe they didn't catch our last segment. So remind us now you're talking about what's going on in Sudan.

1:17.0

Yes. Well, CSI, the Christian solidarity international has been a member of the South Sudanese underground railroad to bring back its citizens, Black Sudanese citizens who were taken by violent.

She had into the Arab North and they were of course horrifically mistreated on the way best your savagery. They were forced to watch their siblings being killed or someone having their throat slit a woman because she resisted rape like dudes mother.

1:56.0

And so what CSI does with the wonderful assistance of so many hundreds of people thousands who believe that slavery is a crime against international law.

2:09.0

So slavery is a crime against humanity. Slavery is a crime. I would submit against God and assist in that process of helping us go in getting them out of that living hell on earth, repatriating them and seeing these wonderful reunions occur and lives restored.

2:29.0

The former slaves think they go to school. They are reunited with family and church. Michael, one of the former slaves, my goodness, he's a pastor of 750 people. I want people to know that the transformation that occurs through their gift to CSI is life restoring. Can I tell you the story about Peter?

2:54.0

I wanted to catch people up so they understand. So you're talking about people being abducted. Now again, this is going on now.

3:16.0

So tell us about Peter.

4:56.0

And so I was able to take care of the baby. And little Peter came back and he said, thank you for taking care of the Arab baby. He was overjoyed, Eric. And I said, well, that's the Lord's doing.

That's the baby of the slave master, Peter slave master, who took a spear and trusted through his right foot because he had, he had lost a goat.

5:39.0

That's what the people endure. Children, and there is no mercy. There is no mercy. And they endure it because they're black, because they're Christian and traditional believers.

5:52.0
