Sudan
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) celebrates more than 100 years of ministry in Sudan. Our engagement in Sudan involves ministry through mission personnel and our partner church relationships. The PC(USA) joins its partners in Sudan in a holistic approach to ministry that includes education and leadership development, community development, evangelism and new church development.
Since Sudan gained independence in 1956 civil war has gripped the nation for most of its post-colonial history. Nevertheless, many people in Sudan have struggled to find a common peace. We join together with the Christian churches of Sudan in efforts to end the conflict and bring new opportunity to all peoples of Sudan. Our sisters and brothers in Sudan call on us to speak out and stand with them in their fight for peace and justice for all. |
