Also by Judith Galblum Pex: WALK THE LAND: A Journey on Foot through Israel		Here are the very real stories of how and why five men and women escaped the genocide in southern Sudan and Darfur, made their way through Egypt and smuggled into Israel, the one country their Islamic government prohitited them from entering. In desperation they fled across the border anyway, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. No food. No money. No papers. No possessions. Just thankful to be alive. But in their hearts and minds they carried the prophecy of Isaiah: "At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty [to Mount Zion] from a people tall and smooth-skinned" (Isaiah 18:7). When hundreds of the tall, dark Africans began appearing in the popular beach town of Eilat, at the southernmost tip of Israel, curiosities were piqued. Where did they come from? Why were they in Israel, and Eilat, of all places? When a group of the Christian refugees entered The Shelter Hostel run by John and Judy Pex, these courageous peoples' stories, both tragic and miraculous, began to be told. They are stories that the world - and the church - need to hear. Video author, Judy Pex:
