The fighting in Sudan between the government army (SAF) and the militia (RSF) continues around the country. The population of Sudan is about 45 million people. The United Nations is estimating 8 million Sudanese have been displaced in the last 10 months and about 18 million Sudanese, almost half the country, are in need of food aid. Before the fighting, most of YWAM Sudan’s staff lived in and around the capital of Khartoum, but now they are scattered all over the country. A number of the YWAM families and their staff are now in and around Dongola in the far north of Sudan. They are doing well, but they don’t have news from other YWAMer’s throughout the country because the phones and internet have not been working well for the last two months. Despite this, our YWAM team made a revival meeting in the local church for 3 days one hour north from Dongola. Fifty people gave their lives to Jesus and many received healing and deliverance. A leader from another local church in the area asked them to go back and do a second revival in their church. The team is taking this opportunity to preach the Gospel and build up the believers in this area. The team in Dongola also held a few meetings about opening a school for children in the city. They found volunteer teachers to teach and the Episcopal church gave them some space to build classrooms. Two classrooms are ready and they want to build four more classrooms for about $3200 USD. The team has already started making the bricks for the new classrooms. They hope to receive 180 to 200 students. They also see a huge need for medicine and food in the city. Thank you for your continued prayers. YWAM Sudan team Prayer points -God's protection over the rest of our staff and all people have no news of their relatives. -For opening doors for mercy ministry, medicines and food bags. -Coming revival meetings in the local churches. -For opening an academic school for displaced in Dongola.
