Devotional for the Persecuted Church--day 4

Here is day four of the devotional, have a great day!

Day 4 – Sudan is Africa’s largest country. Since 1983, there have been approximately two million deaths and four million people displaced due to war genocide. A separate conflict broke out in 2003 in Darfur, where peacekeeping troops struggle for stability. The conflict is spreading throughout the region to neighboring countries. A 2005 peace agreement appears to be falling apart between the Muslim government and the southern Christian faction.

Muslim – 65%,
Christian – 23.2%
Islam, President Umar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir

In spite of, or perhaps because of, the persecution in the last 20 years, the church in Sudan has continued to grow. Life continues to be difficult as the country struggles for stability.

PRAYER: Pray that those who are persecuted will have opportunities to share Christ with their persecutors (Colossians 4:3)
