Violoence erupts in Maridi

Bishop Justin of Maridi Diocese in South Sudan has notified us of gunshots and looting in Maridi town. This has escalated into violence and the destruction of properties to the point where American mission partners have had to be evacuated.

This is an especially heartbreaking development as much work has been done to rebuild the lives of the community there.

Please pray for an end to this violent flare–up, that no lives would be lost and that God would give Justin and his senior leaders wisdom in the situation.

Thank you
