Greetings from Sudan, There is still intense fighting going on between the government army (SAF) and the militia (RSF). This continues in and around the capital of Khartoum, but sadly it is spreading to other areas of the country. Darfur in western Sudan has seen terrible conflicts over the last month. Unfortunately, there seems to be a no progress in the peace negotiations and we know very little of this is in the international news. The internet and phone networks have been going down more often. Sometimes there are days or even weeks when we don’t hear news from other areas of the country. We did get a call last month that there continues to be a lot of looting and stealing in Omdurman, especially in areas where people have fled. The house storing some of YWAM’s things in Omdurman was looted. Some of the YWAM staff who moved out of Omdurman have also had their homes broken into and items stolen. Our YWAM staff have been scattered to different areas of the country. They are doing well and God is opening opportunities for them to serve people. YWAM staff in Dongola ran three days of revival meetings in a local church recently. They will go to a near-by town and also run meetings in a local church there. Since the war started in April, schools all over the country have been closed. This has had a terrible impact on the youth, with some of them getting involved in crime. One of the YWAM staff in Jazeera state opened a school to serve children in her community and those displaced. She has two volunteer teachers and about 120 students, both Christians and Muslims. They divided the children into morning classes and evening classes because of a shortage of teachers and supplies. Here are some of the items they need… two blackboards, chairs, two barrels for drinking water, three doors for the classes, books and a small office. If you would like to give a gift to the YWAM Sudan team, gifts can go through YWAM Colorado Springs. https://donate.ywamcos.org/partners
