SUDAN
A few weeks ago President Mike Semmler wrote to all congregations requesting that prayer be made for the refugees and people in Sudan. The situation has not improved, and in fact has gotten worse. Our Lutheran World Service is working on our behalf, but there are obstacles in getting aid to the people. Please continue to pray for peace in Sudan and the safety of the Lutheran teams and those they support there.
