Sudan Unrest

As you probably already know, Southern Sudan voted for their independence this year and will be celebrating their independence July 9th when they are recognized world-wide as a new nation. Glory to God! For decades, they have endured persecution and suffering and now have the hope of freedom. However, Northern Sudan may not let them go peacefully. It is in the news today that there is much unrest at the North/South border in the Kordofan area of central Sudan. Please be praying for the Sudanese as they are once again enduring hardship. Pray for world leaders to take a stand against this persecution. Pray that God would be glorified through it all and that our Christian brothers and sisters would be strengthened in their bodies and in their faith in Christ. Pray that we, as the body of Christ, would help carry the burden of suffering.
