Prayer for the Persecuted Church | Sudan
This month, we’re praying for the persecuted church in Sudan, where ongoing civil war has placed believers—especially converts—at great risk. Pray for protection for those forced to flee, for peace in the midst of violence, and for the church to faithfully live as salt and light while pointing others to the peace of Jesus.
