(Excerpt)

Since gaining independence in 1956, Sudan has experienced frequent civil wars and political instability. On April 15, 2023, a civil war broke out between the government forces and the RSF, which has continued for over 31 months.

The Sudanese government controls the eastern, northern, and central regions, while the RSF controls parts of the western and southern regions. Recently, the RSF has solidified its control in the west, raising the possibility of a division

According to the United Nations and others, more than 40,000 people have died across Sudan due to the conflict, and over 12 million have been displaced. Of these, approximately 4 million are estimated to have fled to neighboring countries such as Chad, Egypt, and South Sudan.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Heavenly Father, we hear the heartbreaking news that 50 people, including 33 children, lost their lives in an attack by rebels on a kindergarten in the central-southern region of Sudan.

Since 2023, over 40,000 have died and thousands have become refugees due to the civil war between government forces and rebels. We believe that only You, Lord, understand and watch over the suffering in Sudan. Have mercy on the Sudanese people and wipe away their tears.

Lord, please come to the souls in Sudan who have lost their children and families in the rebel attacks. Heal their broken hearts with Your love and Word. Grant Your peace to those living in fear and pain.

Lord, stop the government forces, rebels, and all related parties from attacking civilians and children. Pour out Your heart on the leaders so that they repent of their evil ways and lead their military power justly.

Lord, let the Sudanese church repent of the sins of Sudan and pray earnestly in this situation. We believe that when You hear the prayers of the Sudanese church, all sin and the power of death in Sudan will be broken, and You will heal the land.

Not only the Sudanese church but also the Arab and global churches pray together and bring the gospel into Sudan. When the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached to the souls impoverished by the civil war, may a holy church be established.

Thus, may the Sudanese church rise as holy disciples of the Lord who wipe away the pain and tears of all nations and advance with the gospel!
