A Little Good News -- Prayer Update South Sudan

We are so glad to share that the peace summit has resumed and that all parties are sitting around the table. This is certainly an answer to prayer. 

Over the coming days, we pray for humility and courage for the leaders of all sides engaged in these discussions. May the good and welfare of the people of South Sudan be served and may the conflict come to an end.

As our partner shared with us last night,

"On the peace front, peace talks are going on in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa with all the warring in attendance. The delegation of the Government of South Sudan had initially boycotted the talks but they were finally persuaded. The government wanted 40 members of their delegation but the mediators wanted only 12 delegates from the government. The parties have presented their negotiating/position papers already. The parties are still far apart. We appreciate the international community for the pressure it is relentlessly exerting on the peace. Let us continue to pray that the South Sudanese leaders will come to their sense and embrace peace so that the suffering of the population ends." 

Thank you for joining us in prayer. We know that only God is able to bring real change to this situation.
