Pray for the Family of Younan Abdullah, Killed Defending Christian Protesters

[262] prayers in [18] nations have been posted for Family of Younan Abdullah.

On April 3, a group of Christians gathered at the Evangelical School in Omdurman, near Khartoum, to protest the government’s proposed appropriation of property owned by the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church. After police arrested the men involved in the protest, a group of about 20 people armed with knives and other weapons entered the school grounds and began to beat the women still at the school. When men from the nearby Bahri Evangelical Church rushed over to protect the women, two of them were stabbed by the attackers. Younan Abdullah, an elder at the church, died from his injures, while church member Ayoub Kumama was treated at a hospital and released. Younan is survived by his wife and two children.
