Sudan has been plagued by conflict for decades. Then, in 2011 Sudan split into two countries when the southern region, predominantly Christian and animist, voted to secede from the north, which is predominantly Muslim. In 2013, a civil war broke out between the government and rebel forces, and millions of people were displaced from their homes.
Then, a few weeks ago, fighting erupted across Khartoum and at other sites between two powerful rival military factions. This has engulfed the capital in warfare, for the first time, and raises the chances of a spiraling nationwide civil conflict.
Unfortunately, the Sudanese church often finds itself the target of government harassment or extremism violence. There has been an increase of murders of pastors and church leaders, destruction of Christian villages, as well as churches, hospitals, schools and mission bases.
Despite both nationwide chaos and religious persecution, the church continues to grow. Recent reports suggest the church has grown ten-fold over the past few decades. As we look to the future, let’s keep Sudan in our prayers and ask God for peace and long-lasting change in this influential and important nation.
