Damare, a small Sudanese boy was taken as a slave and forced to tend camels after his village was attacked by radical Muslims. One day Damare, who had been raised in a Christian home, snuck away from his master to attend a church service. When he returned, his Muslim master was waiting for him and accused of committing a deadly act, "meeting with infidels." The master then dragged Damare into a field where he nailed his feet and knees into a large board while the boy cried out in agony.
Damare was miraculously rescued and has told The Voice of the Martyrs that just as Jesus was nailed and forgave, he forgives also. What bold faith from a simple Sudanese boy!
May God bless this stalwart boy for his faith and bravery!
God bless him.
The Lord has a special place in heaven waiting for him
The young man is truly blessed and beloved of God.
Happy hunting, but you won't find any. The Sudanese massacres are under a tight media blackout. VOM is one of the few places that actually is trying to publish some of them.
The boy is a true Christian and an inspiration.
Wow!
Wow, this boy's faith is an incredible inspiration. I pray God continues to strengthen his faith and his resolve despite his horrendous circumstances.
Sorry. Sick of PC liars and revisionists. Islam is the problem and Islam IS radical and violent. We don't need PC revisionists continuing to try to feed us the line that there are somehow "good muslims" and "bad muslims." [Anymore than there were "good" nazis or "bad" nazis.]
This boy is with the angels now.
The fact remains, the more serious one becomes about Islam, the more evil one becomes.
Actually, not yet. He was rescued and lives to forgive his tormentors. (See above)
I wonder if he is from the Uduk tribe - they are devout Christians
I apologize for the bit "cross-thread"ing, but while the subject of people is
before the forum, there's thread to check....news you WON'T see in the American MSM
as it's now busy trying to hang any US soldier it can find for a "war crime":

It will be interesting to see if this article ever sees the light of day in
an American newspaper.
That`s the truth.
Here is a bit more fleshed out article.
Damare Garang - Sudan
Damare was captured by Islamic soldiers when his Sudanese village was attacked. Only 7 at the time, he was sold as a slave to a Muslim family. He became a camel boy even though he knew nothing about caring for them. His master enforced his learning with beatings. One day a camel got away. The master threatened to kill Damare for this mistake, but something restrained him. The next day when he found out that Damare had sneaked away to attend a Christian church in the village he became determined to punish this boy.
The master found a large board, several rusty spikes and a hammer and dragged Damare out to the edge of his compound. He forced Damare’s legs over the board and drove the long nails through his knees and feet. Then he turned and walked away, leaving the boy laying in the field screaming from pain.
A man passing that way heard Damare’s screams and sneaked into the compound and carried this boy to the local hospital where the nails and board were removed. A year-and-a-half later, Damare and the man who saved him were in a village that came under attack, and they were separated. After the defense forces managed to drive away the Islamic soldiers, Damare was left standing along. When the commander heard him speak, he realized that he was from the Dinka Tribe and took him back to their camp. After hearing his tragic story he tried to locate some of Damare’s relatives. When none could be found, the commander adopted the former camel boy and took him to his home.
Today Damare is 15 and lives in Mario Kong. He cannot run fast like the other boys, but he says he has forgiven the man who nailed his legs to the board. He knows that Jesus was nailed to a cross so all our sins could be forgiven. He asked the Christian children in America to remember to pray for the children of Sudan.
