Yesterday was an important day in Sudan, triggering both hope and great fear for many of its people. Registration opened yesterday for an important vote that will take place in January. The election will allow for the possibility of voters in Southern Sudan to vote for independence, splitting the region's alliance away from the central Khartoum government. While many people in the South hope for independence, all are aware that such a move could reignite violence and Africa's longest-fought civil war.
Please pray for the safety of all people in the Sudan, both in the South and the North - that people may be free to express thoughts, convictions, and actions without the consequence of violence. And let's pray this prayer as well:
Loving God, help us to be a part of the very prayers we make.
Here are some ministries and partners who are working hard in Sudan. Please learn about their efforts and pray for them:
