Praise the Lord that the Laro of Sudan are no longer classified as unreached with the gospel! According to researchers, more than 2% of this population of 50,000 are believers, but less than 5% are evangelical. Thank the Lord for those among the Laro people who have come to faith and are actively growing in the Word and sharing their faith. During this Advent season, pray for them to take many opportunities to share the Christmas story with those who have yet to hear and understand it. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:11-12 ESV). Pray for the lives of Laro believers to reflect the love of God and the truth of the gospel. Pray for the growth of the church among the Laro. Ask God to raise up leaders who will rightly proclaim the Word of Truth.
