The presentations by Abraham, Robert, and Samuel were informative and full of historical information. There was little in blaming of the missionaries for any type of abuse or exploitation of the native people. I would have loved more time to talk about the present time and to ask additional questions. The concern of course in Sudan deals with the violence, fear, and hatred between the Christians and the Muslims. The situation in Robert and Samuel's land is not that serious now, but looking towards the future may be a more serious problem for the Christian population. I so often ask myself if I would have the courage to stand up as a Christian in a country where persecution is the situation. I admire the strength and the courage of those people who face this chanllenge each day of their lives.
