From Kidnapped Child to Olympic Flag Bearer | Short Stories of Hope

In this month’s 7MS Presents: Stories of Hope, Aaron Calafato tells the true story of a six year old boy taken during a church gathering in a small village in southern Sudan.

Torn from his mother and thrown into the chaos of civil war, the boy would eventually escape and spend years growing up in a refugee camp far from home.

But through everything, he kept running.

Sometimes hope is something we find. Sometimes it is something we run toward.
