Sudan Prayer Request Details pt. 2

From Fr. Jerry Drino:

Dear Friends,

I have just received this email from the Diocese of Salisbury, England who is in a companion relationship with the whole Province of the Sudan. The attacks of the Lord's Resistance Army on the Diocese of Mundri under score the precarious conditions under which the people and the Church in the Sudan exist. When I was leaving Sudan in December the southern government, Kenya and Uganda had launched an all out attack on all the LRA strong holds. However, an estimated 600 of their soldiers survived and continue their work. In the Diocese of Torit 90% of all the adults were killed. The bishops there are bishops of a diocese of children - over 60,000.

Pray for Mundri and all of the Sudan and the Church that attempts to serve peace and justice. Pray for Robin Denney who leaves on the 23 to begin her mission work as the agricultural resource person for the Province of the Sudan. Pray for her success and safety.

Jerry
