While United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon alluded to "a new window of opportunity" for peace in war-torn and famine-stricken South Sudan, one missionary there said "the window is small" for sharing the Gospel in the world's youngest nation.Ban was speaking Sept. 29 at a high-level meeting of the U.N. as part of its General Assembly debates, which included leaders from around the world. Ban said it is "a pivotal moment" for the country of South Sudan.

Robert Lane, who serves with the International Mission Board in South Sudan, warned that "the window is small. We don't know how long South Sudan will be open. Now the Gospel can be proclaimed, but there are risks." He added, though, "The Gospel is worth them all and a thousand more..."

...Within the country Christians are, indeed, praying for a true and lasting peace, noted pastor Ellie Sworo.


"Christians stood in prayer and fasting for peace in the country," Sworo, who leads Nuru Baptist Church in Juba, said. "Glory to God that the peace accord is already signed. Christians are now praying for the implementation process and the interim period, that it would be a very peaceful one..."

...
"South Sudan has over half its population in some kind of camp, whether internally displaced peoples, or outside the country along the border," he said. "Some of these people have been in camps for over 15 years. Now we have movement to Christ in several places in at least two people groups." 

Cearley said, "We have young IMB families living in South Sudan. Pray for them. Pray for the Light, shining through them in this darkness..."

    Persecuted Christians from all around the
    World

    Persecuted saints benefit most from your heartfelt and earnest prayer.

    Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial;
    for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him
    .
    James 1:12

    'Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the
    devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so
    that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
    Revelation 2:10

    HOW TO READ A PERSECUTION NEWS STORY

    Trials make the promise sweet;
    Trials give new life to prayer;
    Trials bring me to His feet,
    Lay me low, and keep me there.


    "God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His soldiers not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and subjecting them to forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many long miles with heavy backpacks of sorrow. Well, Christian, may this not account for the troubles through which you are passing? Is the Lord bringing out your graces and making them grow? Is it for this reason He contends with you?"

    by Alistair Begg, Truth for Life Daily, at One Place

    Christian persecution is just a phenomenon in the
    Middle East.

    Christians aren’t greatly
    impacted by persecution.

    Whatever persecution there is, the damage is superficial - more a loss of multicultural diversity than anything else.

    Christians supposedly bring persecution upon themselves by proselytizing.

    Persecution couldn’t
    happen here.

    Kristin Wright, at Religion Today.
