More Evacuations

Dear friends, we have another urgent prayer request for Sudan. Our neighboring base in Upper Nile State, where Amy started as a missionary nurse, is being evacuated because the conflict in Blue Nile is spilling over and possibly moving closer. One village 30 km to the north was bombed last night. A mission aircraft came to take several short-term team members out this morning and the rest are closing down the base and leaving in the next few days. Please pray for the many thousands of people affected by this conflict, for the church to be a light in the midst of this darkness, and ask the Lord to bring peace. He is all-wise, all-knowing and all-powerful, even when we don't know what to pray for! Please pray for wisdom for our SIM leadership and teammates, as they make tough decisions.
