Support Christians in Sudan

During my trip to the Middle East last month, I sat with approximately 80 friends in 5 countries. Unfortunately, one of those countries was not Sudan. The civil war in the capital Khartoum has gone from bad to worse. After getting advice from several people who serve the Sudanese church, I have discerned that the best investment of our Kingdom donations would be to support Sudanese evangelical families through MRDS by clicking here (account code “RapidIN.080”). Two of my American friends who both lived in Sudan are heavily involved in this project. I will join their weekly conference calls beginning next week. You can read his description of the project here. If everyone who receives this email actually read it and gave $10, the minimum need would be met. I can't think of a more pressing need in our world today. I can't think of a better way to support Sudanese evangelical families and their Muslim neighbors. Would you please give sacrificially to help these families who are unable to find work due to the war? I know some of them personally.

When The Ground Is Shaking...

Please pray for peace and stability in Sudan. For the past 40 years, there have been several conflicts in South Sudan, Darfur, and the Nuba Mountains. These conflicts had little effect on Sudanese Arabs, who are 70% of the population of Sudan. But now the fighting is in the capital Khartoum. As one brother said on a prayer call this past week, "When the ground is shaking, the hearts are breaking". Would you pray that the Lord would break the hearts of Sudanese Arabs over their sin? Would you pray that African Christians in Sudan would be so full of grace that they would extend grace to their Arab Muslim neighbors by sharing the gospel with them? Would watching this 4-minute prayercast for Sudanese Arabs help you pray more sincerely? I do not yet know of a church or organization that I could recommend to steward relief funds well but I am working on it.
