Pray for the launch of the Darfur Leaders Institute – 20 Darfurian leaders arrived in Kenya to begin a 1 year leadership intensive training program. Pray for a good beginning and settling in for these displaced leaders. Pray they would be well trained and go back and be a blessing to their people.

Pray for Christians in Sudan, (who are often targeted), to ‘not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled, but … always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks a reason for [their] hope’. 1 Peter 3:14-15.

The situation in Sudan continues to worsen, with no sign of peace or an end in sight. Despite this, many Christians have decided to stay in places like Khartoum to care for the believers who cannot leave. Please pray for Camilia, a woman we met at a conference in South Sudan in November, who had traveled from Khartoum to South Sudan and then returned to Khartoum to continue her ministry! Pray the Lord will equip her with the weapons that are “not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4).

Early last month, more than 800 people were reportedly killed in Darfur as part of the ongoing conflict taking place in Sudan. More than 6 million people have been displaced from their homes since the conflict broke out in April. The situation has been called “one of the worst humanitarian nightmares in recent history” by Undersecretary-General, Martin Griffiths. Please pray for Christian aid organizations like the Darfur Christian Association who are offering relief and medical care, as well as sharing hope through the preaching of the Gospel. Pray for the Christians who have remained in Khartoum and Darfur in order to care for the believers and be a witness – may their lives have impact in such dark times! Please pray that God would supply abundantly more than we can imagine to a situation that is hopeless without His intervention.

The situation in Sudan is becoming more dire every day. Many people have lost their lives and properties. The Darfur Christian Association (DCA) team is helping communities of people find places to stay, distributing relief and connecting civilians who are newly arrived Jebel Marra, especially those that don’t have any family members or fellow tribe members. The DCA team is also offering medical and dental care, as well as sharing the gospel of salvation, preaching the greatest hope in Christ, and offering discipleship training to groups and individuals. DCS is seeking more financial support to continue offering medical care and provide medicine.
Pray for peace in Sudan.
Pray God may provide for the needs of believers and provide healing from trauma.
Pray for the global body of Christ to continue praying and generously supporting believers.
Pray for the DCA team in Jebel Marra to continue helping the communities who have fled the cities.
Pray for funds for medicines.

Regarding the security situation in Darfur, western Sudan: In Darfur there is still fighting and many displaced people are there because of the war. I thank God because DCA is still doing a good ministry among the Sudanese community in this situation. In the past 3 months,13 people accepted Christ and 147 heard the Good news. Pray many more will accept Christ. And pray for an end to the war.

Please be praying for Sudan as the 72 hour cease fire ends at midnight Sudan time today. Pray especially for Darfur, where the Fongoro live. Some say they believe the current violence could degenerate into targeted ethnic violence, particularly in El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur State. Pray for those in Darfur and Khartoum as they prepare for more destruction. Pray for relief efforts, congestion at borders, and the dwindling resources such as clean water, food and secure locations. Pray for the families and communities of those who have lost their lives.

Pray that the training team would continue to train believers in Darfur and Khartoum. Pray for unity among the team and for leaders to continue serving the Lord faithfully.

Praise God for a successful Kingdom Business and DMM training in Darfur. Participants learned how to develop Kingdom Businesses to support their disciple making and church planting efforts. The training inspired leaders to share the gospel and seek men/women of peace among each community and village in their city and nation. Pray for much fruit!

Pray for successful trainings for church leaders in Darfur and Khartoum. We would like to encourage believers to grow mature in Christ and to share the gospel to their fellow communities.

Pray for upcoming Kingdom Business trainings and the new businesses that start up as a result of the training to be successful so that they can support church planters and their families.

The team is praying that they will be able to reach out to 11 unreached ethnic groups in Darfur and win first generation men and women of peace to Christ Jesus. They hope to expand their outreach to 7 new villages. Pray for fruitful ministry.

Pray that believers will engage in community service such as volunteer in schools and community activities, local fundraising for rebuilding schools and clinics, and community mobilization with the aim to be salt and light among our communities.

They are praying for a center in Khartoum for use as a central home church and training facility. Please join them in prayer for this need.

During a recent trip to Khartoum, S found the MBB believers had no women’s ministry. During the trip women gathered and agreed to have a ministry devoted to women-to-women care, individual discipleship and group discipleship.
Women empowerment ministry has begun and women are being encouraged to share the gospel with their fellow friends and family members, and to stand firm in faith as they experience persecution.

A group of 23 women met together and 7 of them recently accepted Christ. Pray for these women to grow in their faith and for the 4 other women who came back with more questions about the Christian faith.

The Fongoro community is considered an unreached marginalized group in Sudan. We have the privilege to minister to them by sharing the gospel as well as through discipleship, Bible study groups, and leadership training. Despite socio-economic marginalization and persecution they are experiencing, the gospel is growing among them. The Fongoro community in Khartoum and Darfur are opening to the gospel and we are empowering local believers to reach out to their fellow community members.

Please pray for protection for believers. Pray for job opportunities and economic breakthrough for them. Pray for us as we minister through prayer and holistic ministries.

The Fongoro community is open to gospel. The team is building new members to plant more home churches. Please continue to pray for the team and the Fongoro community members.
Pray that their cultural and tribal differences will not hinder their working together, but that the Lord will draw them together in faith, in love, and in the Holy Spirit to stand firm and to have one mind to bring the Gospel to those who are in spiritual need.​

Pray for the house church leaders to be accountable to each other and to be under spiritual authority that will hold them accountable and keep close to the Lord in all that they do.​

Pray that the Body of Believers will stand firm in their faith in God; that they will seek to work together for the sake of the Gospel.

Ask God to have mercy on the Fongoro and send messengers of the gospel to them. Pray He would deliver many from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His dear Son.

The recent coup has led to civil strife and the military taking over. Pray for Sudan, the unreached people groups, and our ministry partners all needing peace and security and salvation. Lord have mercy.
