Persecution and harassment of Christians in Sudan persists, as 12 men were arrested for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Muslims. The government has been harassing and oppressing Christians. It has been cracking down on churches, arresting, and imprisoning Christians and even demolishing church buildings. International Christian Concern will continue its advocacy for the persecuted Christians in Sudan. It will continue to monitor the situation and is prepared to take action and urge the international community to intervene. Pray that the harassment and oppression of Christians will stop. Pray that the twelve Christian men arrested will be released (The Bible, Hebrews 13:3).
