Sudan Famine

In an urgent plea from the senior pastor of the EFC of Sudan, he shares the famine is devastating, there is an extreme lack of food and children are suffering most--asking for your prayerful and compassionate response to this crisis situation.

I greet you in the name of Jesus. The famine in Nagishot is devastating, especially among the refugees recently returning to Sudan. There is an extreme lack of food. It is the children who suffer most. Three years ago, people had enough to eat. But food produce dwindled as droughts became more frequent. Since 2007, there has been drought or a long dry spell every single year. This has had a devastating impact on households across the Nagishot Hills. We are appealing with you brothers and sisters to pray for life-saving emergency aid to our people who are in crisis. May God bless your prayers for the suffering masses!

One in the Tribe

In January 2009, First EFC, Austin, TX, sent Colleen to live for one year with William and Eunice, (Sudan refugees featured in the EFCA's Resurrected Hope DVD). Working with Eunice's people, the Didanga, Colleen is providing continuity to the short-term teams that travel from First EFC to Nagishot, Sudan. She's also assisting with the implementation of development training.

Focused on the vision of Didanga believers reaching out to the other tribal groups with the gospel, they've seen the first fruit of their labor. Eunice and Colleen recently shared the gospel with four women in the Nagishot area. All four had received Christ as Lord and Savior. What a first quarter. The vision begins.
