Prayer for Sudan

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attacked a village in Gezira Province, central Sudan, killing at least 150 people, including 55 or more children, on Wednesday. Then on Friday, they rained artillery on Khartoum, killing more than 40. Last month’s clashes with the Sudanese Armed Forces in North Darfur left 134 dead, nearly 1,000 injured and thousands displaced.

More than 15,000 people have died since the war began over a year ago between RAF and SAF, and over 10,000,000 are displaced. Most of the country is on the brink of famine. Some predictions say another 2.5 million people could die by September, if nothing changes.

Sudan is 92% Muslim and ranks among the top ten most dangerous countries in the world for Christians. Several church buildings have been burned by Islamic extremists, and Christians fleeing the war have endured beatings and other severe persecution from both militants and fellow refugees.

Sudanese Christians Detained, Tortured for Their Faith

Lord, please stop the violence. Bring to justice those who rape, torture and kill. Replace lies with Truth, hatred with a desire for Love so strong extremists will lay down their weapons, repent and seek Your salvation. Give all Muslims a craving for a better way, for salvation, for a God who loves, heals and restores, for a nation that blesses its people not wars against itself. Make a way for the Bible to be translated into every one of Sudan’s unreached languages and available to every person. Meet Muslims in their dreams and give them visions of You. Open their hearts to Truth and give them courage to lay down their traditions to follow Christ. Lift the veil from their eyes so they will see You as You truly are. Open the way for all the more Christians to bring healing and provide other aid, sharing Your good news with those in need. Make Your people a beacon of light in the midst of so much darkness, shining the way to salvation and eternal life, and showing the lost abundant love, joy and peace that can be ours in Christ, even in such tragedy. For those who have witnessed and endured terrible torture and abuse, please heal their hearts and minds. Be merciful to them, O Father. Set them free from nightmares, panic and fear. Plant deep within them faith, hope and love so fierce, fear must flee. Topple every lie with Your truth and save the lost by the thousands. Multiply Your church and awaken every mind and heart to You. In Your name, Jesus. Amen.
