Prayer for Sudan

More than 28,000 people have died since the war began two years ago between Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Over 12.3 million are homeless and most of the country is on the brink of famine. To make matters worse, Christians are a main target for Islamic extremists on all sides.

When a young Sudanese man in West Darfur chose to leave Islam and follow Christ, his family attacked him, disowned him, and forced his wife to divorce him. (March 24, MSN)

Pray for his safety and that God will visit his persecutors in their dreams and convince them also to turn to Christ.

At least seven members of the Sudanese Church of Christ fleeing the battle in Khartoum sought refuge in an SAF-controlled area, but when they arrived in Shendi, Military Intelligence arrested them on false charges of supporting the RSF, tortured them, and then sentenced them to 5-7 years in prison, where they have been held since January. (January 24, Morning Star News)

Pray for them by name: Muraad Morjaan Anglo, Akram Omer Al Mahadi, Mutaz Al Seed Ibrahim, Amjad Mustafa and another unnamed Christian (7 years); Algab Mohamed Al Mahadi Atroon and Murkus Moses Allajabu (5 years).

Around 19 Christians were arrested in January and February by SAF on false charges of supporting RSF: Akech Otin, Abraham John, Patrice Saeed, Peter Makuei, Rani Andraws, Ammanuel, and James in Madani, and 12 other Christians in Wad Rawah. Their whereabouts are unknown. (January 28, MSN)

Pray God will make the way for their safe release/escape and use them to bring many people to Christ. (January 28, MSN)

In October last year, 26 Christians were arrested by SAF Military Intelligence in Shendi after fleeing RSF-controlled areas.

Pray for their protection and quick release, and for God to use them to share His love with those around them.

A recent video on social media shows extensive damage to the Khartoum Evangelical Church, after RSF troops looted it and used it for their military barracks. Many other churches have been burned.

Pray for protection over the Christians there and that God will use them to shine His love to their persecutors.

Sudan is 92% Muslim and ranks #5 among the most dangerous countries in the world for Christians.

Pray that from the ashes of this horrific war, He will bring forth a great Awakening to His love and millions will be saved.

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 the languages of every one of Sudan’s 131 unreached people groups and made 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.
