Whispered Prayer: MAMA SUSAN TABIA & THE ORPHANS OF SUDAN
One Sudanese in poor health. Hundreds of war orphans without hope. Susan Tabia saw them in her dreams, these children whose families were devastated in Sudan's civil war. In 1994 she followed her dreams into the refugee camps of northern Uganda, bringing love and compassion into desperate situations. Along the war-torn border of Sudan, her faith would be tested as she stared terror in the face, including a show down with the LRA. Join Mama Susan on a journey of faith over fear, as she offers these vulnerable children fresh hope and a bright future.
