Christian Persecution in SudanAlthough Islamic law has not yet been fully implemented, the government and society try to squeeze Christians in all spheres of life and the level of violence has escalated. Christians face growing threats and persecution from Muslim communities and Islamist government officials, yet the number of believers is rising. The independence of South Sudan means future instability for Sudan, with a huge loss of revenue. Christians are afraid the religious and ethnic cleansing will continue, particularly along the border with South Sudan.

PRAY

  • Praise the Lord that the number of Muslim Background Believers in Sudan is rising
  • For Christians in the disputed border regions, where churches and schools have been attacked
  • Give thanks that Open Doors has been able to offer humanitarian assistance as well as discipleship and outreach training.
 Help Christians where the need is greatest!

    Persecution of our brothers and sisters in Christ has been increasing. We need everyone who is truly in Christ to pray. We are use to our freedom and quickly forget our family who is being jailed, murdered and persecuted!!! We are all part of the same Body, the Body of Yeshua! We all have our own special gifts but one thing we all have, love for one another. So PLEASE lift up your prayers to the one that all things are possible! Love and blessings…

    Father God, I praise You our blessed King and Redeemer that the number of Muslim Background Believers in Sudan is rising. Help them to walk in Your Perfect Will in all that they do and everything that they say for You are all they need, and so it is with the rest of us. Please also protect Christians in the disputed border regions, where churches and schools have been attacked senselessly in the name of satanic Islam. I give thanks that Open Doors has been able to offer humanitarian assistance as well as discipleship and outreach training. May the students and pastors be protected and continue to have faith in the Blood so they can bring many of the lost sheep back to Your Kingdom Father God. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

    Oh Lord, how are hearts break for our beloved brothers and sisters in Sudan. We do praise You for the MBB’s that now love and serve You. Please comfort and strengthen those under attack. Thank-You for the great work Open Doors is doing there. Please, Dear Jesus, continue to grow Your Church in Sudan and all over the world. May Your Kingdom come and may Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Worthy are You, Jesus, to receive the reward of Your suffering!

    May the Lord be your all in all your circumstances, May you know His peace and strength in whatever your day might bring. May your persecutors be amazed at your witness and realise they are in the Presence of the Risen Christ and seek Him for themselves.

    Lord, I come to You this morning on behalf of Sudan. I thank You along with other who are praying for how you have reached out to Mslms living in the Sudan. Thank You that there are now so many MBBs who have found You as their Savior in this area. I pray for them – for their continued growth in their relationship with You, for provision and protection for them, and that You would use them to continue to spread Your gospel to others who don’t yet know You.

    I pray specifically for the believers in the disputed border regions where a lot of persecution is taking place. I pray for Your protection over these individuals. I pray that You would prevent buildings from being torn down – but that even if they are torn down, that You would make the people resilient and not allow them to give up meeting together. Help them to continue to persevere in their faith no matter what is done to them externally. Please give them wisdom in their actions and in who they talk to, and please provide for their every needs according to Your riches :) .

    Lord, I’m grateful today for Open Doors and the way that they have been able to provide humanitarian assistance to the people living in Sudan along with discipleship and outreach training. Thank You for all those who work for Open Doors in this capacity – continue to bless them and give them the words to say and the lessons to teach to the Sudanese people who are receiving the training. Help the Sudanese to be able to absorb everything being said and to use that training to equip them to go out and share Your gospel. Please also give wisdom in the distribution of humanitarian aid so that those who are desperately in need are the ones who are receiving the aid. Please don’t allow corruption or any type of underhanded anything to prevent aid from getting to the people who are truly desperate. In Jesus’ name, amen.

    Abba Father, My heart breaks when I read these stories while I live so comfortably in the United States. Show me how to share this news with those around me so they too can see this great need. We are all one with you Lord and it is so easy to forget this. Continue to provide for these brothers and sisters by first giving them hope and restoring their faith as you meet their needs financially, emotionally, and spiritually. As hope arises so does our spirit giving voice to the goodness of the One True God, the Messiah, the Redeemer, the King.

    It is so exciting to see how you are moving int he midst of the trouble, affliction and persecution they regularly endure. Nothing is impossible with you and you have promised that one day every knee with bow and every tongue confess that you are Lord. May those persecutors and tormentors who have bought the lies of Islam have their eyes opened to the truth, so they too can join the Kingdom before it is too late.

    Lord we ask you for the nation of Sudan to be radically transformed to reflect Your glory. Hide Your people under the shadow of your wings and give them the courage and the wisdom to bring forth true and lasting change. We declare freedom over Sudan, thank you that you are always working for the greatest good and that your eyes do not miss those who call upon you in times of trouble and hardship. Bring those from outside with great courage and great blessings for their brothers and sisters in this great nation. We thank you that you have an amazing plan for Sudan and that you will see that plan supersede all the plans of the enemy that ravage her today. Bless your people Lord with healing, provision and the amazing gift of your manifest presence….In Jesus Name we pray….AMEN

    Father God, thank you for the prayers of your saints, here, and around the world. I stand in agreement with them today for my brothers and sisters, and their children, in Sudan. I stand in agreement with these prayers and ask that you would surround your children with protection, and your mighty warring angels, today and every day. Please shine the light of Christ, and the joy of forgiveness, through your children in Sudan. May they be united as one, with love and grace overflowing for one another, and for their enemies. May their enemies see this love and unity, and want it too! Visit the lost Muslims in visions and dreams, King Jesus, as you have done so many times. Thank you for your amazing love and mercy for them! Make yourself known to them. I pray that You will bind up the Strongman in Sudan, and ransack his house! Many many, many, many people experience true salvation in Sudan, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. Glory to You, Lord our God!
