“David's presentation encouraged the audience to think critically about how the media's portrayal of the Darfur genocide compares with the lived experiences of those living in Darfur. His words and images prompted a dialogue that will extend far beyond the presentation itself, inspiring and motivating students and community members to renew their commitment to Darfur with fresh energy and perspective.”

“David's intimate knowledge and perspective of the help needed in Darfur painted a provocative picture of the situation.  His vivid pictures and heart-wrenching stories inspired all the NYU students attending.” Student - NYU

"Both the people who have never heard of the genocide in Darfur and those

who are activists can listen to David speak about it. Instead of bogging

down the human aspect of the conflict with the statistics, politics, and

accounts of human beings as simply being victims of violence, he talks

about individual people, their stories, and their unrelenting hope. This,

I think, allows the audience to really think about their place in the

world and experience a personal connection with the people in Darfur that

moves them to want to help. And with the encouragement of audience

participation and discussion and the passionate and heartbreaking

anecdotes of real people, any person who listens to David will be hooked!"

“David Johnson is a powerful and charismatic speaker.  The students at

UNC Charlotte were moved by his vibrant pictures and dynamic stories

of the people affected by the genocide in Darfur.  His personal

experiences there shine through his words, giving him a unique

perspective on the situation there.” Student - UNCC

“I was impressed with the intimate account of the Sudanese people from David's presentation. I felt like we were able to travel with him to a land of deep hunger-- for justice. I give thanks to God for David's work. I keep a copy of his book handy to use in my classes, but also for personal reflection. It is as if they are speaking through their eyes... such beautiful people that need to be heard!”  Teacher- McCallie Academy (Tennessee)
