(Sudan)–Christians are being encouraged to help free slaves in Sudan. According to Norm Nelson, founder and president of Life At Its Best, they’ve started a program called Project Freedom. Nelson says in Sudan’s war against Christians, radical Sudanese Islamic officials are raiding villages, capturing women and children and selling them into slavery. Nelson says they’re asking people to send in 35-dollars to help buy them out of slavery. Nelson believes this is a great project for families, churches and schools.
