It deserves a wide audience." ~ David Price, former Rector of Christ Church in Jerusalem The popular beach town of Eilat, at the southernmost tip of Israel, is visited daily by international tourists who want to enjoy the warm waters of the Red Sea. But when hundreds of tall, very black Africans show up to stay, curiosities are piqued. Where did they come from? Why are they in Eilat, of all places? When a group of them enter The Shelter hostel run by John and Judy Pex, the people become known and their stories unfold. Here are the very real stories of how and why five refugees escaped from genocide in southern Sudan and Darfur, made their way through Egypt and smuggled into Israel, the only 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).
