The Lost Is Found : A "Lost Boy's" Story Of Faith, Hope, Charity, And Love

At 7 years of age, Jacob Guot became a "lost boy" when war came to his peaceful village in what is now South Sudan. Forced to run for his life, not knowing whether his family members were alive or dead, he joined up with others in the African bush to walk a thousand miles to Ethiopia. After years in a refugee camp, he fled to Kenya ahead of armed militia members and ended up in a refugee camp there for another nine years. Then the United States government, working with the United Nations, arranged for thousands of "lost boys" to come to America for a chance at a new life. Jacob tells of his years of acclimating to America and learning new ways, all so different from his childhood in South Sudan. He became an American citizen, gained an education, and founded Africa Sunrise Communities to help his homeland."--Back cover.
