An Appeal For Help

The war between Christians and Muslims of Sudan has resulted in the destruction of most social and economic infrastructures, the collapse of education and health services. The children are growing wild without proper education. The rate of mortality is very high due to the lack of proper health services.

The war is not a civil nor a political war; it is religious war between Christians and Muslims. Christians are resisting what in effect is genocide, Arabization and Islamization. The Muslims are determined to impose the Islamic religion upon the Christians and to turn Sudan into and Arabic state. This cause has been supported by Islamic countries like Iran.

As most of you should have been hearing over the media, Sudan has become a center to train terrorists; it has been now included on the list of terrorist-supporting countries. Those who want to know more about the Sudan, let them turn to the Biblical verses: Psalm 87:4; Zephaniah 3:10; Psalm 68; and Isaiah 18 which talks about the suffering people of the Sudan—to mention a few.

For the cause of our Faith in Christ we have been persecuted. Many have been killed, tortured, and even starved to death. Despite all these atrocities, we as Christians do stand firm in our Faith, knowing that Jesus Christ honors faithfulness and is fighting with us.

I am therefore appealing to the outside world to pay attention to what is going on in Sudan. Christians, Brothers and Sisters please do come and rescue your brothers and sisters from the mouth of the lion, before we are finished. The slogan of the Islamicists is “we want only the land, not the people.” They termed us as infidels—but we love God.
