New Seed of Sudan goes to Jacksonville, FL

This past weekend, I got to travel to Jacksonville, FL with the rest of the film crew for the documentary The New Seed of Sudan. One of our primary subjects, a lost boy named Isaac Garang, has moved down there for his job as a welder. Isaac lives in a small apartment with six other lost boys. They were all very generous with their time and stories. We got some fantastic footage and photos, and that is completely thanks to the openness of these men.

Feel free to get involved! We can use your help! Just swing by www.NewSeedOfSudan.com and drop us a line.. You don't have to be a professional. We have lots of areas that just need an extra set of hands.

I'm pretty sure that NSOS will post the "behind the scenes" photos, so I'm going to use this space to post a few of the more impressionistic photos I took while there.

New Seed of Sudan


I’m part of a fantastic group of (primarily) men called the New Seed of Hope. It’s an organization dedicated to helping South Sudan and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa… well… I’ll let their words speak for themselves:

“To bring hope to the millions of people in East and Central Africa, especially widows and orphans, who are victims of poverty, famine, tribal conflict, wars, genocide, disease, HIV/AIDS, and internal displacement.”

The big project that I’m a par t of is a documentary film about the “Lost Boys” of Sudan. Rather than give you a drawn out explanation here, please go to www.newseedofsudan.com to learn more. Periodically, I’ll post new images I get while working on the film. Currently, you can see several of them on my home page, or you can go HERE for more shots from our last filming date.

Please pray for South Sudan and her Lost Boys.
