Prayer Points

Pray for God’s mercy upon the South Sudanese who are struggling to avoid starvation (The Bible, Psalm 18:2).

Pray for God’s intervention to give wisdom to the South Sudanese government leaders to route the oil using different modes of transportation (The Bible, Psalm 18:30).

A Call to Salvation

Let God raise His Children to top government positions to end the financial deadlock and resume all government functioning in South Sudan (The Bible, Psalm 46:1).

Promise for the Nation

Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You (The Bible, Psalm 25:20).

South Sudan is the youngest country in the world. However, the country has always struggled to survive. A civil war that displaced hundreds of thousands of people erupted immediately after the country was conceived. After six years of fighting, the country started experiencing peace when the civil war in Sudan began. South Sudan’s primary revenue is from oil transported via pipeline through Sudan. The warring factions in Sudan ruptured this pipeline and stopped this revenue indefinitely. Without the oil revenue, the government machinery, including the armed forces, will not have any income. This economic catastrophe has effectively stopped all government activities in the country, with the number of deserters from the armed forces increasing steadily.
