This is where my heart goes.
This is where my heart breaks.
Right now, in Sudan, there are 200,000 civilians being starved to death.
This has gone on for several years.
Unfortunately, this has been brought to my attention recently.
And now, I bring it to yours. So please, bear with me. Pray with us. Join us.
Where we sit as a country, we are comfortable, in our homes and offices.
Where Sudan sits as a country, they are running. Running on empty. Running for their lives. They are dying.
We, as a country, have so much.
And what of the Sudanese people? They have their hunger, fear and imminent death.
What can we do?
These are the facts and this is our mission:
I ask that you join us. Help us. Help us help these people.
Help us by praying, giving or going.
PRAY:
Pray BOLDLY. Our God is mighty. He can do all things.
Pray for this effort.
Pray for Sudan.
Pray for this effort.
Pray for Sudan.
Pray for the people.
Their physical state, their bodies, their lives. There is a lack of food.
Their physical state, their bodies, their lives. There is a lack of food.
Their spiritual state, their souls, their eternal lives. Though their lives, here, on earth, have value, this value is insignificant in comparison to their eternal souls.
Pray that they hear the gospel and be renewed and transformed by it.
Pray that they hear of Jesus Christ, what He has accomplished for us on the cross and believe.
Pray for their leaders. That they would come to know Christ, repent and follow Him.
Pray for those that are saved. That they would have perseverance through this fight.
