Ever-Present Lord, Your Word says in Exodus 33:14, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” You are not a distant God; You walk with Your people and make Your home among them.
Today we lift up the believers across Western and Central Africa. In places of displacement, violence, and long uncertainty, may they pursue Your presence above every other comfort. When homes are lost and roads are dangerous, may they know that You go with them, and let Your nearness be their rest. Meet those who worship in fear, and steady the ones who have buried loved ones for the sake of Christ.
Strengthen pastors who shepherd scattered and grieving people. May displaced families find a welcome among Your Church, and may worship keep rising where sorrow has been heavy. Draw many who are looking for security to the God who never leaves.
Father, keep us living in the light of Your presence. We look forward to the day when believers from across Western and Central Africa dwell with You forever, where You wipe away every tear. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
110 City General Focus for September is East Africa
Today: KHARTOUM, Sudan
I live in Khartoum, where the Blue and White Nile meet — a city that has long stood at the heart of Sudan. Once the largest country in Africa, Sudan was divided in 2011 after years of civil war between the north and south. The split was meant to bring peace, but our nation still wrestles with deep wounds, religious tension, and political instability.
Here in Khartoum, the rhythm of life is shaped by trade and struggle. The streets are filled with merchants, students, and families trying to rebuild their lives amid uncertainty. Many still long for peace, yet our government’s efforts to establish an Islamic state have left little room for those who follow Jesus.
But even in the midst of pressure and persecution, I see hope taking root. Quiet gatherings of believers meet to pray, to worship, and to share the Word. The Church here is small, but its faith is fierce. Sudan is a land of hundreds of unreached people groups, and Khartoum — this bustling city on the Nile — is becoming a seedbed for God’s Kingdom, where His Word is quietly spreading through relationships, courage, and love.
Prayer for Today:
Pray for the unreached peoples of Sudan to encounter Jesus through dreams, media, and faithful witnesses. (Romans 10:14–15)
