*CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel."* (Ephesians 6:18-19 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
PRAY FOR SUDAN-
For families in Sudan, holding on to hope at present is a great challenge. Those stepping out of their front door do not know whether they will return alive.
Please pray for safety for those living with fear. Local church leaders tell Open Doors that the climate of fear is now being fanned by politicians. Voices from the old Bashir regime are now openly suggesting the move to democracy was an error, and that the only peace now lies in a return to the authoritarian rule of the past.
Please pray that the Sudanese people reject these voices. Local church leaders ask that we pray for justice and healing – and an outcome that does not open the way for more radical Islamist groups.
Please pray that the Sudanese people continue to fight for a government that respects human rights, freedom of worship and dignity for all.

*CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I want you to know how glad I am that it's me sitting here in this jail and not you. There's a lot of suffering to be entered into in this world--the kind of suffering Christ takes on. I welcome the chance to take my share in the church's part of that suffering."* (Colossians 1:24 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
“Christians in Sudan are always vulnerable,†notes Fikiru Mehari, a field researcher with the Christian charity Open Doors in East Africa, “and now, they are even more vulnerable.â€
Open Doors ranks Sudan at number ten on it’s World Watch List - making Sudan the 10th most dangerous country in the world to be a Christian.
Conversion from Islam to Christianity no longer means the death penalty – but it does means shame and hostility. Christian converts are often thrown out of their own homes and communities, or disinherited by parents.
“Now we have a situation, in this violence, where Christian converts may be trapped, or locked up, with family members who may be deeply abusive to them,†Mehari points out. â€It is a situation of huge concern, particularly for women.â€
Financial vulnerability is a further issue. Employment discrimination against Christians is a fact of life in Sudan. “When you apply for a job, they will openly ask you at interview, what is your religion?†says Mehari. “Many times that translates into only precarious employment, and no permanent means of income. It is likely that the majority of Christians will not have that cushion of savings to fall back on.â€
When life becomes a desperate hunt for food, medicine or fuel, those without savings will face harrowing choices.

*CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves."* (Mark 11:17 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
When the sounds of shelling erupted in Khartoum in April, 2023, Most Rev Ezekiel Kondo, Archbishop of Sudan, found himself protecting 42 families - including young children - inside All Saints Cathedral, in Khartoum.
As mortars and artillery shells rained down, they sheltered inside, listening to gunfire all around them. But within hours, the Cathedral precincts were breached. Families hid in silence as armed men ransacked the outer compound, firing weapons into church vehicles, looting and wrecking offices. Only once they had left could children and parents pick their way through destroyed streets to try to escape the city.
Communications with the Sudanese church leaders are now very difficult. "There is a lot of fearâ€, Archbishop Kondo told him by email, describing a desperate struggle to keep mobile phones charged and to search out food and water. “The Sudanese community here is fearful. At the moment, we pray hard, and keep in touch.â€
There is no doubt that Christians in Sudan face extreme threat, both in public and private.
