Government of Terrorists

Note: This is the eighth in a series of nine emails examining major Islamist groups currently persecuting Christians around the world. Read each informative email, and request your free prayer guide to learn how you can pray more specifically for persecuted believers facing Islamic extremists.

On a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, members of the Sudan Church of Christ gathered for worship as usual in the Khartoum suburb of Soba al Aradi. But before the service could begin, a bulldozer rumbled toward the church and proceeded to demolish the building, the last church still standing in the area. When the government bulldozer left, all that remained was a pile of rubble. In 2011, the Sudanese government demolished 12 churches in the same suburb as part of its announced plan to destroy 27 churches. Request Your Free Prayer Guide

Sudan’s president, Umar al-Bashir, has been indicted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes. Nevertheless, he continues his campaign to rid Sudan of Christians, demolishing church buildings around Khartoum and routinely bombing Christian villages in the Nuba Mountains to the south.
