Berti in Sudan

The country of Sudan has experienced violence and upheavals for decades. The Berti people live in the Darfur region of western Sudan. They herd livestock and raise crops and they try to avoid the violence that plagues their land. However, intertribal wars have entered their region.

Ministry Obstacles

Sudan is generally hostile to Christian witness. Access to the Berti homeland is limited. There are many dangers and difficulties.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for quality Christian radio to be widely available throughout Sudan. Pray for the funding needed and for access to broadcast facilities.

Scripture Focus

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."  Genesis 1:27

Scripture Prayer

Pray that this people group will realize that they were meant to be in God’s image, and they need to change their ways to get back to Him.

Prayer Focus

If there are followers of Jesus today among the Berti tribe, they need people to assist them to grow spiritually in Christ. Gospel radio can be a helpful tool for spiritual growth. The Berti people also need access to modern medicine and clean water. Pray for all of Sudan to experience a just and lasting peace. Pray for an honest and effective national government. Pray for the Berti people to find peace in Jesus Christ, leading to a movement to Christ. Pray that Christian relief workers would show the love of Christ in such a way that peoples will come to the King of kings.
