God Touched Hearts

I give thanks to the people who showed up for the gala. It was a great night for all of us Sudanese and American friends. I think it was a wonderful night because I saw so many faces and friends. I went up on stage with Agook and shared the Dinka songs and they loved it. I shared my life story with the people and it was a great lesson to the people. When I went first onstage I was kind of feeling I was not going to say anything, but God filled me with his word and I talked. It was the power of God.

When the gala finished I went from table to table to greet my friends and a lot of people said “you’re a good speaker and singer”, but it was God not me. Some of the people did not know Dinka music but they loved it. It was a good experience for me for people to love the Dinka songs and clap their hands. When I shared my story, I talked about the war in Sudan for so many years and how my village was attacked and we lost 2 million people in Sudan. That means we have so many orphan children there without school, clinics and no good water. They’re facing so many difficulties and we’re going to save their lives.

When Peter went on stage to share the same things, the people were crying because they were feeling that God touched their hearts to go and do something in southern Sudan. I think if we make it every year it will be good to see friends’ faces again and to talk with them and share our lives together.
