Sudan (MNN) — About 2,000 believers from a Muslim background escaped Sudan’s war in recent months. Now, they face persecution from Muslim refugees in two displacement camps near the Sudan-South Sudan border.
One believer, a mother of seven, suffered head injuries when her Muslim husband beat her. He had discovered her Christian faith.
“Equipping centers,” run by a group we cannot name for security reasons, offer biblical healing for trauma like this. John* says they’re starting five equipping centers in safe communities.
“They’re in key locations that have direct and close access to Sudanese refugees and unreached people groups from Sudan,” John says.
“The purpose is to be a launching place to take trauma healing to the people where they need it and to do evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.”
One safe community saw the tremendous need for this group’s work and gifted an acre of land for the first equipping center.
“We have the land, we have the buildings two-thirds done, but we can’t get materials because they used to come from Sudan. We have to wait for the rain to stop so we can bring them from another area and finish,” John says.
Pray John’s group can access the resources it needs to finish work on the equipping centers. Ask the Lord to provide for Sudanese refugees so they don’t have to go back to Sudan until it’s safe.
“The RSF has just wreaked havoc; it’s ISIS-like what they do,” John says.
