South Sudan

Where: South Sudan

Who: Philip Ewert and Samaritan's Purse Staff

What: Rebuilding Christian churches destroyed by Sudanese civil war in the 1990's

Franklin Graham:
" ... As God provides, our teams hope to build 80
churches this year and 200 each year after. We believe there are at least 1,000
churches that need to be rebuilt.

We hire local Sudanese workers for the
construction and have deployed dozens of Christian men and women from the United
States and Canada to train these workers. Working in a land that lacks paved
roads, electricity, and construction facilities, every day is a challenge. Every
church rebuilt is worth it, though, as believers are encouraged and people are
coming to Christ.

Through relief and evangelism projects across Sudan,
Samaritan’s Purse is working to lift up the Lord Jesus Christ as the only One
who can bring true healing and peace. Each person we help is a soul precious to
God, and what matters most is introducing as many as we can to the greatest love
of all—the love of Jesus Christ, who gave His life to rescue us from sin and
death."

Please pray for Phil and the SP Staff:

• That God would provide strength, energy, and wisdom each day as they face new challenges
• That they would be protected physically and spiritually (specifically as they travel)
• That they would have refreshing moments of peace and rest with God
• That the Lord would use them mightily to preach the Love of Christ
• That hearts would be softened and souls would be saved in South Sudan
• That God would be glorified in and through their work
• And " For the Christians of Sudan; for the churches being built, that these would not be mere structures we are building but symbols of hope; that many in this land would know our Lord; that the window of peace would remain for as along as possible." - Phil Ewert

Father, you are good, faithful and abounding in steadfast love. We trust that you love Phil and the Christians in South Sudan. Please God we ultimately ask that your will be done in their lives and in this nation. Thank you for your love for us!
