The Sudan Fund

Update: We have the bulk of the funds gathered for this project. However, given the current instability in the country, we are not able to build at this time. Southern Sudan has voted to break away from Northern Sudan, a change which is scheduled to occur this summer. As soon as the political climate is stable, we will begin our building project.

God is opening incredible doors for the ministry of Remember all across the world. In the recent Middle East survey trip, our team met dozens of men, women, and children affected by persecution. As we sought out the widows and orphans of martyrs, we were overwhelmed by the depth of the need in the Sudan.

In the Nuba Mountain district, virtually every Christian - and there are thousands of them - has been affected by persecution. They have all had relatives dragged from their homes and brutally murdered, for the simple fact that they trusted Jesus Christ for their salvation. Even though the religiously-based civil war is technically over, the persecution and violence towards Christians did not stop with the signing of the peace agreement.

Remember is planning both short and long-term ministry to these needy brothers and sisters in Christ. We are planning a trip in December, along with partner ministries, to take medical aid to suffering Christians in the villages of the Nuba Mountains, and to investigate a building that will serve as a clinic, safe house, and much, much more.

The Sudan ministry is not just a future goal, however. On the survey trip, we met three widows, all of whom had lost their breadwinners due to persecution. Each of these widows shared a similar story, one of heartache, long hours of work to feed and clothe their children, and the desire to raise their children in faith in Jesus Christ. These are the people Remember is passionate about caring for, and we are doing just that. Each of these three widows, Nadia, Sadia, and Magdalena, is receiving a monthly stipend from Remember to help provide for their daily needs.

In order to meet these needs, both long and short term, Remember's Board of Directors has created a special Sudan Fund. If you designate your donation for the "Sudan Fund," 100% of what we receive will go to our ministry in the Sudan. This ministry use will include supporting widows in the Sudan, building a facility for Remember's base of operations, medical supplies, travel expenses for doctors and other staff to and within the Sudan, and for the support and equipping of local contacts to serve as Remember's "eyes and ears" in this needy country.
