Synopsis
Father Lee originally graduated from medical school to be a doctor. He was the pride and joy of a large family with a mother who worked as a seamstress in the market while raising her ten children. Despite his mother's opposition, he became a priest and voluntarily left for Sudan. South Sudan was a dangerous place, being in the middle of a civil war, and with very little missionary volunteers. For the villagers suffering from poverty, hunger, injury, illness, and loss of hope was their detriment. Father Lee gave them not only his medical skills but also art and a warm heart. His beautiful life will be shown to the world!
