RELIGIOUS LIBERTY PRAYER ALERT!
A Briefing on Suffering Brothers and Sisters
in South Sudan and Nigeria

September 30, 2009

In the past year our brothers and sisters in South Sudan and Nigeria have been undergoing terrible attacks.  In the case of South Sudan, militias, armed and sponsored by the Islamist National Congress Party in Khartoum, have killed as many as 2000 people and displaced tens of thousands. In light of all that the people of South Sudan have been through in the past four decades, these new attacks are devastating. They threaten South Sudan's future and are taking a terrible toll on the Church. In the case of Nigeria, there are more, and more intensified, attacks by Islamists intent on establishing Shari'a (totalitarian Islamic law) in northern and central Nigerian states and beyond. In the future, we will be exploring actions that we might take to encourage the U.S. government to act on behalf of the innocent victims of jihad terrorism in Sudan and Nigeria. But we know that above all, this is a spiritual matter and we must do battle against the powers and principalities, the spiritual wickedness, that directs Islamism on earth. This new downloadable and printable resource will provide for individuals, prayer groups, and churches, some background on the situation in South Sudan and Nigeria, and prayer points to encourage your targeted, specific prayers.
