Front-Line Workers Visit Sudanese Refugees

Front-line workers were able to minister to displaced Christians seeking refuge. Millions of Sudanese have fled the civil war in their country that began April 2023. Some escaped to neighboring nations, including the Central African Republic (CAR), which borders Sudan’s Darfur region. Though Sudan has a predominantly Muslim population, a small percentage of Christians also live there. Some have found refuge in Birao, a town in the far north of the CAR near its border with Sudan, Chad and South Sudan. Front-line workers visited with about 100 of the estimated 300 Christians living in a camp of around 20,000 refugees. “We thank God that he allowed you to come from so far away to visit us here and be with us,” said a woman who was a leader in her Sudanese church and who now regularly prays with other Christian refugees. She added that the Christian refugees face many challenges, including limited water, medicine and food.
