ASTOUNDING ANSWERS to PRAYER in SUDAN

16/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Under Jihad and Sharia
When Frontline Fellowship began to minister in Sudan over 25 years ago, the situation was most severe. Sudan, then the largest country in Africa, was in the grip of the longest war in African history, under a radical Jihadist dictatorship, which enforced Islamic Sharia law on all.
 
Genocidal Scorched Earth
No missionaries were allowed, the government of Sudan were waging a genocidal scorched earth campaign against the Christians of Southern Sudan and in the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan.

Picture
Serving the Suffering
Yet, by God’s grace, we succeeded in smuggling in hundreds of thousands of Bibles and Christian books and we helped to establish over 100 Primary schools, a high school, a number of Bible Colleges and Medical clinics and provide them with thousands of Christian textbooks.
 
Freedom for South Sudan
On 9 July 2011, South Sudan was recognised as an independent state and its secession from Sudan internationally recognised.

Picture
​Reversal of Fortunes
Last year, Sudan’s dictator, Omar Al-Bashir, after almost 30 years in power, was overthrown and put on trial for corruption, oppression and murder. Sudan also pledged to hand over Al-Bashir to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face trial on war crimes and genocide charges. This is the first time in the modern history of the Arab world that an architect of a coup has gone on trial.

Picture
Dramatic Developments
In the last year, a series of astounding developments have been announced. A Declaration for Freedom of Religion was signed by the Transitional Government. A Religious Affairs minister was appointed to ensure Freedom of Religion. The Apostasy Law, under which many Muslims who converted to Christianity had been executed, was scrapped. Public flogging was abolished. A process aimed at restoring democratic civilian rule was begun. Restrictions on NGO’s were lifted by the government. Laws abusing women have been scrapped. For the first time in 30 years, publishers in Sudan have been promised Freedom of the Press.

Picture
Peace Accord Agreement
The government of Sudan has signed Declarations of Peace with rebel groups, including the SPLA-N in the Nuba and with the government of South Sudan.
 
Hopeful Answers to Prayers for Peace and Freedom with Justice
Although we have been praying for peace and freedom with justice, these astounding developments have exceeded the hopes and prayers of many of us. It has also enabled our Mission teams to deliver hundreds of thousands of Bibles and Christian books to hundreds of schools and churches throughout the remote Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan, an island of Christianity in a sea of Islam.

Picture
A New Era of Opportunity
Churches are being rebuilt; schools are being established. Boreholes are being dug, farms are being cultivated, crops harvested. Christians in Sudan are daring to hope for a new era of unprecedented opportunities to fulfil the Great Commission in what has been, for centuries, a strictly Islamic state.

Picture
A Call for Ongoing Prayer
Please continue to pray for the Christians in Sudan and for our ongoing mission projects in the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan. “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have Faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
.”
 Matthew 28: 18-20
