Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples

Most of the Sungor people live in Chad, but 25,000 of them have settled in western Sudan. Their homeland in Sudan is currently in a war that is bringing turmoil to their village life, their work, and their resources. Sungor men used to come from Chad into Sudan seeking jobs, but now that is reversed, as resources from Chad are trickling into Sudan. The Sungor people in Sudan have a history of hopelessness, as they have been traditionally shunned by others. Pray for these people whom Jesus loves and for whom He died. Ask that in their increasingly hopeless situation, they will hear the good news. Pray for the turmoil in their lives to turn to praising God. “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God” (Psalm 42:5-6 ESV).
