A message to all Christians from the Southern Sudan Christian Mission Church:
The oldest community of Christians in Africa, suffering the most severe persecution in the world today, demands your most urgent and wholehearted assistance. The southern people need your help to rise to this challenge.
- Pray for Sudan. Make their needs known and work together for the freedom of Sudanese Christians.
- Pray for an end to the devastating war and for the end to spiritual bondage due to religious persecution.
- Pray that those who are spiritually blinded will come to salvation.
- Pray that the church is blessed with on-going revival and growth, including the discipleship of believers and training of the church leaders.
- Pray that our Christian brothers and sisters remain steadfast under political pressure and repression.
- Pray for Southern Sudan Christian Mission Church leaders that they will grow and mature in the Lord; that they will be dedicated shepherds of their flocks despite the difficult circumstances.
- Pray to ensure that God is regularly remembered in prayer in your church.
- Encourage your local radio stations to broadcast the incredible testimonies of Southern Sudanese families.
- Speak up on behalf of your fellow Christians, brothers and sisters, people of the Southern Sudan, who are being persecuted because of Christianity. You may choose to contact your Senator or Representative and urge them to do something about the problem of Southern Sudan. Through your joint concerns, diplomatic and economic pressure could be brought to bear upon the Government of the Sudan to stop the atrocities and/or end the war.
