August 1st Sudan's National Day of Prayer

This Info is via Samaritan's Purse:

AUGUST 1^st IS THE
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR SUDAN

Join Sudanese Believers in Prayer for Their Nation
this Saturday

Christian leaders from more than 1,000 churches in north and south Sudan are urging believers worldwide to join them for their National Day of Prayer on August 1.

"Christians, wherever you are, just kneel down somewhere and pray," said Pastor James, a local church leader in Khartoum. "We feel that it is very important for the Church to fast and pray."

Sudan is moving into a critical time of transition. National elections are scheduled for January, 2010, followed by a historic referendum for independence for Southern Sudan in 2011.

Believers in Sudan have been fasting and praying for their nation during the week leading up to the National Day of Prayer on Saturday.

"We are praying for the nation of Sudan," Pastor James said. "It is not a political thing. We are praying for our President. We are praying for God's protection and that there will be no conflict between the north and the south."

PLEASE PRAY FOR:

• Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir, President of Sudan
• Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of Southern Sudan
• A peaceful election in January
• The vote on independence for Southern Sudan in 2011
• Revival and prayer in local churches
• Lasting peace throughout Sudan

The people of Southern Sudan suffered through two decades of bloody civil war that claimed more than two million lives before the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in 2005. A sustained peace is critical over the next two years as sensitive negotiations and historic elections frame the future of the nation.

Please pray with believers around the world for Sudan on August 1.

Meet Sweet Daniel

Daniel is an incredible kid! He is 6 years old and has been at the orphanage for almost two years. He and Soraya (Daniel's 4 year old sister) came to us from a tragic situation. One day Daniel's mom asked he and Soraya to go with her in order to gather fire wood so they could sell it in the market and have money for food, school fees, etc. Daniel's mom put Soraya on her back and they went out in the jungle. Sadly, Daniel and Soraya's mom stepped on a landmine. She was killed right there, Daniel had his leg blown off, and Soraya was miraculously unharmed. Daniel courageously untied his little sister as he was bleeding to death from his leg being taken and brought her to safety.

Daniel is a brilliant kid who has an incredibly gentle spirit. Please pray the Lord will use him as a mighty man for the kingdom. Pray God will comfort Daniel in his afflictions so he is able to comfort others (2 Cor. 1:3-5).
