My People are Returning

The UN is moving the scattered people of southern Sudan back to Sudan over the next 3 years.  Right now the people are returning for the census in southern Sudan, so that they will count how many people are in each area. They will really need our help because as they travel, they don’t have shelter, and it is the rainy season. There will be no water and no food and the villages can’t support the people.  

Some people are fearing whether they will have good security and education for their children.  They’re being forced to leave what little settlement they have for the purpose of the census.  There is no food, no medicine, no water. Not only are they closing the refugee camp in Kenya, but also the camps in Uganda and three camps in Ethiopia.  The famous refugee camp of Kakuma where so many southern Sudanese lived before coming to the US is closing down at the end of this year. 

This looks like when the children of Israel were outside and God returned them and delivered them back to where they were before. We have to pray for their health, and for their shelters, and the food they’re going to eat. They don’t have what they need and it will be too dangerous for them. We have to pray for them on the way and as they get there.

We can pray for God to open a door for them to have peace and be happy and enjoy the Word of God in freedom. 

It says in Isaiah 18:3, “All you people of the world you who live on the earth, when the banner is raised on the mountains you will see it and when the trumpet sounds, you will hear it.”
