Sudanese Government Demolishes Church Without Warning

A church located in Omdurman, Sudan near the country's capital of Khartoum was demolished by Sudanese authorities without warning and with little explanation. According to local police, the church was destroyed because it was located in a "Muslim area" and was unwanted. Many Sudanese Christians see this act as a part of Sudan's broader campaign to become more Islamic and Arab. Following the separation of South Sudan, Sudanese President al-Bashir declared his intention to adopt stricter forms of Sharia law and make the country more Islamic. Please pray for Christians currently suffering in Sudan. (Photo: Police watch as Sudanese Church of Christ building in Omdurman is demolished. Credit: Morning Star News)
