Update & Prayer Request

Dear Prayer Warriors,

Pastor Gary and the team are safe in Khartoum. As they were boarding the plane in Al Fashir, Sudan Pastor Gary got a call from Suaad (a friend of the ministry staying in Khartoum) telling him that they have an appointment with Achmed Al Tahir, the Speaker of Parliament, at 2:00pm. Their plane wasn’t scheduled to arrive until 1:30pm in Khartoum and they were hot, tired and in field gear. Normally when attending these types of meetings with dignitaries they would be in business attire. Pastor Gary told Suaad they wouldn’t make it by 2:00pm. Suaad said that the team could make it at 2:30pm, but the Speaker of Parliament told her that they can come as they are (grubby). The team arrived in Khartoum and rushed straight over to Parliament and went into his elegant office in boots and dusty clothes.

When Pastor Gary met with the Speaker a couple of months ago they talked about doing a prayer breakfast together because the Speaker had been at the USA President’s Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. Today the Speaker told Pastor Gary that he is now ready to hold the breakfast with the President of Sudan and other leaders of African and Arab nations as soon as possible. Part of this would be to not only meet together for a prayer breakfast but also to dialogue on Muslim/Christian relations and Darfu, Sudan. This kind of prayer and meeting could go a long way in producing a lasting peace in Darfur, Sudan.

Please be in prayer that our Lord would make His perfect will known in this situation. We would prayerfully like to involve our government as well, so please pray that God would open those doors as He sees fit. As our team prepares to leave Khartoum, Sudan now please be in prayer for traveling mercies as well for them.

In Christ,
Angela
