This was actually an ad for Voice of the Martyrs sent to me from Townhall.Com. I have been unable to find actual news stories on the web thus far.

May God bless this stalwart boy for his faith and bravery!

[Jibaholic]

God bless him.

[lilylangtree]

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!

Damare, a small Sudanese boy was taken as a slave and forced to tend camels after his village was attacked by radical Muslims.

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 behavior of the filthy Koranimal Islamofascists comes as no surprise. Time and time again, they show their true colors for the whole world to see.

[Revelation 911]

I wonder if he is from the Uduk tribe - they are devout Christians

[joesnuffy]

We need to send gunships AKs and advisers as well as sandwiches and toothbrushes to these poor people..

We rescue mulims from their own kind...we certainly ought to rescue Christians

Now that Powell is out...perhaps Condi will do the right thing...

This advert got played on Salem Radio Network in the Los Angeles network over
a few months during the past year.

I think it played on KKLA (www.kkla.com) and maybe also on KRLA (www.krla870.com).

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.

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.

.....his Muslim master was waiting for him and accused of committing a deadly act, "meeting with infidels."....

It's a religion of peace

I don`t know if you got the follow up TChris, but here it is anyways;

Update The boy in the article above, Damare, has now received some assistance from workers with The Voice of the Martyrs. His wounds are still open and additional medical attention as well as some rehabilitation is still needed. (VOM is looking into further assistance.) Damare is not alone in the persecution he has endured. The Muslim government of Khartoum in the North has declared a jihad, or holy war, against the mostly Christian South. Omar Hassan al-Turabi, an Islamic leader, has stated that anyone who opposes Islam “has no future.” Since 1985, approximately two million have perished due to the genocide. Families in the South are terrorized-fathers killed, mothers raped, and children sold into slavery. Yet in the midst of these atrocities, the Christians in Sudan remain strong, worshipping their Savior and leading others to Him. Thankfully, in recent months the onslaughts have begun to subside and peace talks are on the table.

Odd that the mainstream press won't report this

Damare was miraculously rescued and has told The Voice of the Martyrs that just as Jesus was nailed and forgave, he forgives also.

Magnanimous.

This kid is an inspiration for me to find room is my heart to forgive the guy who was tailgating me on the drive home.
