Eric Metaxas and Christian Solidarity International join forces to free 350 Slaves this Christmas

The human rights organization Christian Solidarity International (CSI) and television and radio host Eric Metaxas are partnering together to free at least 350 Sudan slaves before Christmas. This year alone, CSI has freed over 900 Christian and non-Muslim people from slavery in Sudan, a practice that was revived in 1983 when the Arab Muslim government of Sudan armed militia groups, encouraging them to raid Southern villages, steal their property, and take their women and children as slaves. With CSI's assistance, an indigenous Underground Railroad of Africans and Arabs working together has grown into a sophisticated network that has freed over 100,000 people, mostly Christians.
"This will be our fourth year to partner together," says Metaxas. "CSI is doing amazing work in countries all over the world, but they have especially been effective in freeing Christians who are enslaved in Sudan. They are true freedom fighters combating modern-day slavery."
For a cost of about $250, CSI frees a slave in exchange for a much-needed cattle vaccine. Each liberated person is then given a survival kit of essential items, a dairy goat, and food as well as health care, plus safe passage back to their families and communities.
CSI Project Manager Franco Majok says while they have made great strides, there are still over 35,000 people who remain enslaved and many daily sustenance needs are ongoing.
"This year, CSI has helped feed over 6000 families, saving many people from starvation," says Majok. "Freeing slaves is our first step, but we also make sure they have what they need to live and thrive after their captivity is over. It is my hope and prayer to live to see every South Sudanese slave freed. This is more than just work to me - it is a calling."
