The Roanoke-based group was accompanied by Southern Sudan soldiers.
The missions team's immediate task was to develop a plan to supply food and water to the Sudanese refugees. A more long term plan involves building a compound with schools, a medical center, and a church that would provide worship and pastoral education.
((DAVID FULLER:))
One and a half million Sudanese have been killed in the war. Four and a half million have been displaced; some travel 300 miles by foot out of the Sudan into Northern Uganda to find safety, food, and shelter. Thousands are forced to live under trees; unprotected from the elements.
