Religious freedom is severely restricted by government and society. Islamic groups, wanting to form an Islamic state, persecute the church. Conversion is not recognized: believers from a Muslim background are treated as if they are Muslims. Following South Sudan’s secession from the north in July 2011, the President asserted that Sudan’s constitution would be based on Sharia (Islamic law). Many believers have since left the country. The possibility of war between Sudan and South Sudan is a concern for Christians – warfare can easily cover up acts of religious persecution.
Pray:
- Praise God that, despite the difficulties, the number of Muslim-background believers in Sudan is rising
- For peace and stability in this volatile region
- That God will strengthen individual Christians to stand strong.

All praise and glory to God almighty, for increasing the number of believers even in times of persecution. Be their rock and their salvation and let peace descend upon them. Let their strength and peace increase as their numbers increase. Deliver them Oh Lord as you deliver ed Israel.
May God’s grace, mercy and peace abide with God’s people as they face the persecution, stress and loss for the name of Jesus. We are thankful that greater is He Who is in us than he who is in the world.
Father, I thank you for the many Muslims coming to know Your amazing grace and truth and i ask You to protect and lead them in the Way they should go. You, alone Lord be glorified. Help them and carry them as they glorify You, even through severe persecution. Lord, I ask that You would make a way for these MBB to be able to come together and worship You. May they come together to be strengthened by You and encouraged by Your words as they daily walk with You. Watch over their families, Lord and may they be true Light in the darkness to others caught up in bondage and deception, just as they were. Use them for Your glory and protect them from the evil one. Lord, I ask You to perform Your power over this region of unrest and turn away the violence, bringing stability in the Sudan that can only come from You. Protect and provide for these families, I ask in the name of Jesus, and may they see You with open eyes and give You, alone all the glory! in the precious name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
Lord, I come giving You praise and thanks for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ in the country of Sudan. I thank You that despite a hostile government, more and more Muslims are surrendering their hearts to You. I ask for stability and peace to come to this country that is on the verge of war. Lord, I ask for Your Holy Spirit to be poured out on this country so that many more come to know You as Lord and Savior. Lord, be an everlasting Comfort to these believers. Let them feel the love and prayers from their brothers and sisters from around the world. Help them to know that they are not alone. Lord, help them to continue to stand strong in their faith. Thank You for Your unfailing Love! IN Jesus’s Name, Amen!!!
LORD. Many years have gone by as we pray for the Country of Sudan. The suffering and continued persecution has brought forth a miracle of souls turning to the LORD and accepting Him as their Savior! Thank you Jesus for hearing the prayers of the saints . You have visited these people with dreams and visions! You have called to them and they have turned to the only one who can help them. Lord, we ask that you would bring the children food for their bodies and souls. Ps. 19:1,2 “The Heavens are telling of the glory of God and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech and night to night reveals knowledge”!
Father God, Please fill and comfort your servant and make them ready for battle using the Word of God and The Love of God to win souls for Thee. In the mighty name of The LORD Jesus Christ . amen
Father God, I don’t know why such suffering has to be so. But you know all things. Thankfully one day soon it will all end, and when we’re in Your presence eternally, these horrors will no longer be remembered. Help us to not forget about our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are malnourished, thirsty and through it all stiving to share Your love and the Gospel. Help us to learn from them, about faith and trust in You. That is what they do, they only look to You, our Deliverer. May the Holy Spirit reveal Himself to the persecutors, so You will be glorified. Thank You for Open Doors and for the courage of their missionaries. AMEN.
Lord, we thank you that there are believers in Sudan and that its number is increasing. We pray that you fill their lives in such a way that everyone around them can see it, that you are their reason to live and that they can experience your victory every day.
I pray that you protect them, that you show them the next step and that you provide for all their needs so that you Name can be glorified there. Lord, you are worthy of all the suffering they are going through but you know that they need you in order to stand it. Encourage them and bless them.
Father we honor You today for who You are! The One who is always with us…
hearing our hearts cry for the poor and needy.
Thank You Father!
We thank You Lord for increasing the number of the believers in this land.
Strengthen them and empower them to overcome the oppression.. Let them see You high and lifted up and feel Your touch today.
Supply all their needs today Lord and may their numbers continue to increase.
Thank You Father, amen
Lord Jesus, Your loving eye and enfolding Presence is with every single believer in Sudan, south and north, who are following You in suffering and trials. We ask for Your glory to shine through no matter what is asked of them… and we pray for endurance, relief, comfort and many unbelievers to see Christ and embrace Him as the Way, the Truth and the Life. Father, for those who are perpetrating evil, destruction and death we ask that Your righteous right hand will prevail against them. We ask for their souls, so they will not face Your judgment seat without the blood of Christ having cleansed and forgiven them.
And we ask for clear signs to those believers who are fearful, that You are WITH them, carrying them and strengthening them in the midst of the chaos. May we learn of You from them. In Christ’s Name I pray, Amen.
Jesus, Our brothers and sisters in the Sudan are so precious in your sight. Strengthen them in their inner person, place your dear name on their lips continually. Help them to supernaturally love their persecutors. Thank you that we will spend eternity in your presence with such sisters and brothers as these. Help them when they are afraid and feel desperate. Keep us mindful of these in your family.
Lord, I come to You this morning in agreement with my brothers and sisters around the world and with the Open Doors family regarding Sudan. I pray first and foremost that Your will would be done in this region, above all else. I do ask that You would protect and strengthen the believers in Sudan, that You would provide every need that they have when society refuses to support them, that You would be their mother/father/sibling/friend when their families desert them or refuse to recognize their conversion. I pray that You would preserve a remnant in Sudan that would not leave despite the fact that Shar’ia law may be enforced there. The people that You died for in Sudan need to hear about Your love and Your freedom – so please preserve believers who can be a witness for You there. I pray for peace in this volatile region – I pray that war would not break out and that Christians persecution would not be ‘covered up’ because of skirmishes in the area. I ask that You would continue to give Your wisdom to both governments of Sudan and South Sudan – even if their presidents do not know You, their hearts are in Your hand and You can guide them to make decisions that will fulfill Your perfect plan for the area. Thank You for the amazing increase in MBBs that are coming out of this region – You are showing your power once again, that nothing is too hard for You and that no region is ‘closed’ in Your eyes. Please continue to grant saving faith to Mslms and open their eyes to the truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
What is an MBB?
Richard, It stand for Muslim Background Believer…
Father in Heaven~I praise your Holy Name for working in the lives of the people of Sudan. I ask that you would stengthen all believers and provide for their every need as you have promised in your word. I pray that you would you would bring peace and stability to this region. Please open the eyes and hearts of the government leaders, help them to see their need of the Savior Jesus Christ. In your name I pray. Amen
Dear Father,
We bring to You in prayer tonight, Your followers in Sudan. Give them courage to stand strong in their persecution and let them know that Christians around the world are praying for them. We see Your Hand at work in this difficult world, Lord, as more and more muslims turn to You, even while Christians around the world are being persecuted more and more every day. Please touch those in this country and help them to feel Your Presence.
In Your Name,
Amen
Father, I have always been touched by how kind the Sudanese people can be, how in their culture they welcome guests and offer sustenance. May this culture permeate, and may it be nurtured to support your followers, the Sudanese Christians. I bow my head and pray that you will soften the heart of Muslim Sudanese . May that dear country come to know that all Sudanese are your children. Comfort those who have suffered.
In Jesus name! Amen.
Lord I am in accordance with my brothers and sisters that the Sudanese Muslims are given the light of your mercy and fall to their knees as Saul (Paul the Apostle) did on the road to Damascus. It’s my prayer they will see the mercy, love and forgiveness in the Sudanese Christians. These are all of your children Lord and I know that it grieves you to see your children so divided in this world. May the gentleness of peace fall upon the Muslim like a warm blanket and may their eyes and heart see who You are. Amen.
