Pray for Two Pastors Charged with Crimes Against the State

[287] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Imprisoned Pastors.

Two South Sudanese pastors are on trial in Sudan on charges that could potentially carry the death penalty. Pastor Yat Michael and Pastor Peter Yen were detained in Khartoum by Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Service on Dec. 14, 2014, and Jan. 11, 2015, respectively. They are charged with several offenses, including crimes against the state. The pastors’ attorney believes the men were arrested solely because of their Christian faith. Their next hearing is scheduled for May 31.
