REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN - Milka is a 19-year-old Murle woman of strong faith. In December 2010 she was living with her husband, six-month-old son, and in-laws in Pibor, South Sudan. They heard rumors that a neighboring ethnic group was coming to attack, so they moved to the cattle camp. Two days later the attackers came. People ran toward the military barracks for protection. Milka and her baby were surrounded and captured. Thus began the one-month walk to the village of Nasir. Milka wasn't afraid. She prayed to God for courage and wisdom. She knew God was with her.
