Church in Chains: Pray for Sudan
WMP works with Church in Chains, an Irish organisation that encourages prayer and action in support of persecuted Christians worldwide.
Today we are praying for Sudan.
Before the conflict erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023 Sudan was already experiencing a humanitarian crisis. The need has grown exponentially since then.
More than a year after the start of the war nearly 16,000 people have died in Sudan. Over eight million people have been displaced and nearly 24 million people are in need of aid. We pray for provision for all those in need in particular the refugees.
Many Christians have been forced to flee their homes and are struggling to survive, with both sides in the conflict targeting them. More than 165 churches have closed since the start of the war, while others have been intentionally destroyed. Churches have also reported rape, kidnap and looting, including the abduction and killing of Christian men by radical groups.
We ask God to pour hope into the church in Sudan and protect it. We pray for blessing and strength for Christians who have converted from Muslim backgrounds and continue to face huge dangers.
