Pray for South Sudan

Anglican Network in Canada received an urgent email from Bishop Abraham Nhial requesting our prayers for South Sudan.

Bishop Abraham Nhial tells us that there has been an attempted coup resulting in two days of fighting in Juba, the capital. Bishop Nhial reports that “we already lost 12 people, more then 130 people are wounded, many people are still missing and many people are been displaced”.

Please pray for the Church in South Sudan, for wisdom for church leaders as they seek to be peacemakers, and for the Prince of Peace to reign in that fledgling nation.

Bishop Abraham Nhial, the diocese of Aweil, was one of the guest speakers at ANiC’s regional assembly in Vancouver last April.
