Great Falls Ecumenical Council Presents a Christian Unity Program
Guest Speaker is Angelo Maker - Lost Boys of Sudan
Sunday, January 18 2009
Great Falls United Methodist Church at 7 PM
Great Falls Ecumenical Council invites you to a Christian Unity Program. Special guest speaker, Angelo Maker is among the three thousand orphans called the Lost Boys of Sudan. He and his family were victims of the civil war in Southern Sudan in 1983 and claimed over two million lives including those of his mother and two brothers when his village was attacked. Angelo was alone and only seven years old.
In 1999 the United States began to bring these Lost Boys to America so they would have a chance to educate themselves and return to build a better future for their people. The program continued until the bombings on September 11, 2001 forced the program to be terminated.
Angelo Maker was among those who made it to the States in 2001. He now resides in Newport News with his wife Stephanie and daughter. Angelo works and attends ODU studying International Relations while remaining active in efforts to create a better future for Sudan.
Great Falls United Methodist Church is located at 10100 Georgetown Pike, Great Falls, Virginia 22066
