Sudan's more than 44 million people are primarily Muslim. They consist of around 161 people groups. The largest is the Sudanese Arab and then Gaaliin, Bedawi Beja, Guhayna. Pray also for other ethnic groups in Sudan. View the unreached from a map of the country.
There are many Sudanese Arabs living in other countries. There are approximately 1,790,000 in Egypt, 37,000 in Australia, and many in Canada and the United States.
Pray for them, watch for them, and see if you can make a friend from Sudan.

The Republic of Sudan is in Northeast Africa and is the third largest country in Africa geographically. Sudan consists of mostly desert plateaus and plains with rivers that flow to the Nile in Egypt. There is still enough forest for some lions, cheetahs and leopards. Recent history has seen horrific human rights abuses and war. South Sudan broke off in 2011. Learn more at Britannica.
Polio is making a comeback in the aftermath of war.

Tiny Glimmers of Good News
To begin with, you can help someone in Sudan through ADRA.org, this is the Adventist Development and Relief Agency that helps people of any background.
You can get even closer to Sudan through a refugee. Just 10 days ago in Chattanooga, TN we meet several families who are refugees from Sudan. I was visiting Wildwood Seventh-day Adventist Church to put on a Reach the World Next Door training. The church members wanted to go find refugees. So in 33 degree freezing weather, out we went!
The local pastor, Tapiwa, led us to an apartment complex. We divided to visit every door. We were friendly, shared a prayer, gave a My Language My Life MLML.org card, and found Sudanese refugees whose hearts are connected to the pain at home in Africa.
Now the Sudanese have Seventh-day Adventist friends who visit them, invite them to their own houses, and tangibly help. I was thrilled that we had just added Sudanese Arabic websites to MLML.org that they are now looking at.
Please find a way to be one of those glimmers of good news. Give. Go. Pray.
