Mission Ministry Persecuted Church Prayer
Focus - Sudan
Sudan has consistently been ranked in the top 20 countries with the hardest persecution against Christians since 1963. This year, Sudan is listed as the fifth worst country for treatment of believers.
It is the government's agenda to make Sudan a one-religion nation under Islam. The persecution against Christians is especially severe for Christian pastors. Many Sudanese pastors have been killed, fled the country, or suffered imprisonment. The pastors who remain in Sudan are few, and pastors who share the Bible and teach the truth are becoming rare. For those who remain the challenge to be bold for Christ is a dangerous one.
However, the Sudanese Christians have not despaired. According to one pastor, "we want people to know that in spite of the situation that we are going through,...Christianity and the church in Sudan is still strong. What has happened has astonished us. But the simple Christians...who believe that God is involved in the situation, they encourage us and give us hope that Christianity is not finished in Sudan.
- Please pray for these dear pastors who choose to remain in Sudan during these difficult times.
- Pray that they would know that they are not forgotten by the Body of Christ.
- Pray that they will be strengthened and encouraged through the Holy Spirit and continue to be bold for Christ.
- Pray for the believers to remain strong in their faith and for the hearts of unbelievers to be changed and turned to Christ.
