As politicians in South Sudan struggle to implement a lasting peace agreement, religious leaders are working hard at grassroots level to build a culture of peace and reconciliation. The Lutheran World Federation has been aiding South Sudanese through humanitarian work. It supports human rights and advocacy by churches there. South Sudan Council of Churches are spearheading dialogue in the country through what the Pentecostal Church leader describes as the “three pillars of peace.” Pray that the peace strategy will yield good results. Pray that forgiveness and reconciliation will be promoted (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:18).
