The situation continues to get worse, yet hope remains. People are turning to the Lord as they encounter the peace only he can offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of the guys that I work with, who was an imam [and] became a Christian, he says, \u2018In my lifetime, I never believed that I would see a Muslim come to know Christ. And then in the space of a year, I\u2019m seeing them lead 50 to Christ,\u201d [says John, a gospel worker].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With help from John\u2019s ministry, new believers from Muslim-majority Sudan learn how to share Jesus and start churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have about 26 teams: 15 are inside Sudan, and 11 are in refugee points outside Sudan. They\u2019re all leaders we have trained at our school; [350] Muslim-background believers from 65 tribes,\u201d John says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been working in Darfur for a long time. Many of the house churches that were underground in Darfur are displaced, and they\u2019re now in Chad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While church planting is the believers\u2019 primary focus, they offer limited aid whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve given them training; we try to give some support,\u201d John says. \u201cWe did a feeding program in Chad, just the 100 most vulnerable in three camps. We were able to feed for two months and give tarps for shelter. That\u2019s all we could do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent weeks, the leaders held biblical trauma healing workshops, and 150 Muslims came to the Lord. \u201cSatan wants hope to be contraband, because it is hope that removes the control of the enemy; it removes their power over a person\u2019s life,\u201d John says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
