Abraham Yel Nhial was only 9 when he was separated from his family and became one of the Lost Boys of Sudan.
Now he is one of the newest bishops of the worldwide Anglican Communion. He was consecrated in July as bishop of the Diocese of Awiel in southern Sudan.
“God called me back home,” Nhial said during a recent visit to Fort Worth. “I never thought this could happen. But God planned it for me. God can use anybody.”
Nhial was among more than 20,000 boys in southern Sudan who were forced out of their villages in the late 1980s by a civil war.
