Pray for Two South Sudanese Pastors Imprisoned in Sudan

[299] prayers in [23] nations have been posted for South Sudanese Pastors.

Two pastors from South Sudan, Pastor Yat Michael and Pastor Peter Yen, have been detained for over a month in undisclosed locations in Sudan without formal charges. Pastor Michael and his wife had taken their son to Khartoum for medical attention, and the pastor was asked to give a sermon during his visit. After finishing his sermon on Sunday, Dec. 21, he was arrested by members of Sudan’s National Intelligence Security. When Pastor Yen visited the Religious Affairs Office in Khartoum on Jan. 11 to inquire about his colleague, he, too, was arrested. There is concern that both Pastor Michael and Pastor Yen are in danger of being tortured.
