Chester United Methodist Church has a fund for the Lost Boys. We have sent them well over $2,000 for school expenses and more recently for their trip back to Sudan. There are about 21 Lost Boys returning to Sudan to see families they have not seen for as much as 17 years. This is a much needed visit as they come out of a survival mode and begin to build a life and new purpose for themselves and their native land, Sudan.
If anyone would like to give a financial gift to this please send it to Chester UMC, 12132 Percival Street, Chester, VA 23831. Make the check out to Chester UMC with a memo "Sudan Lost Boys". They pretty much have their travel expenses paid for (an amazing accomplishment considering the low-paying jobs they have while they are paying their way through college) but will need more to pay their bills (rent, utilities, car insurance, etc.) upon their return. Their jobs do not have vacation time so they will be without pay during those weeks back home.
