Sudanese Refugees Find Shelter at Messianic Ministry
The
genocide staged by Sudan’s Islamist regime keeps topping
the lists of contemporary disasters. Some 3.5 million South Sudanese Christians
and animists have been killed in a brutal “conversion” campaign that has lasted
more than 25 years. Millions have fled their homes, seeking shelter from
starvation, slavery and violent death.
But among the desert mountains across which Moses fled with another persecuted
people long ago some of these Sudanese believers have found refuge in a place
aptly named The Shelter.
Jerusalem’s Prophetic Destiny
Without question Israel and its capital city, Jerusalem, are of
paramount importance in the plans and purposes of God. And we know God uses
believers to work with Him in prayer for the carrying out of His plans, His
mysteries, on the earth (see 1 Cor. 14:2).
That’s why He commands us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem”
(Ps. 122:6, NKJV). But this does not mean we are to pray
simply for the absence of war. It also means we are to pray for Jerusalem to
fulfill its prophetic destiny.
Help Us Help Haiti
At 4:53 p.m.—the moment when a magnitude 7.0 earthquake turned Haiti
upside down a week ago Tuesday—hundreds of Christians spent a minute
praying for survivors, churches and relief teams on the ground in
Port-au-Prince.
Ministries are also responding to the diaster, providing relief and/or medical
assistance to the small nation. To make a financial contribution to quake victims, scroll down to the
ministry of your choice and click on the link.
