Sudanese Walk 1500 Miles to Israel

The ride salutes these Sudanese refuges who walked 1,500 miles to freedom. No bike=walk. These Christan men lost most of their families to religious persecution by Muslims in the South Sudan, eventually finding a refuge in Israel after walking 1,500 miles. The conflict in South Sudan has claimed almost two million people, and the conflict in Darfur (western Sudan) has taken near a million lives. In both cases Arab militias from the north of the country have attacked non-Arab Christan and Animist communities. This tragic story is just one example of many conflicts around the world that are characteristic of the 'Clash of Civilizations' that is taking place. Sadly most of the West is either in denial or is simply unaware that there is a worldwide conflict between two civilization that is taking place all over the world. Israel welcomes the Sudanese refuges who make it, sadly many are killed on their way here.

  1. How small the memberships would be in the Western churchs if we had to endure such things. How many of us would stand the test?
