On July 9th 2011 we witnessed an unprecedented governmental change in Africa. This has never before taken place on the continent. After 25 years of brutal war that claimed the lives of 2 million Southerners, the South has voted in favor of splitting Sudan in two, making South Sudan Africa’s 54th country.

Please pray that the country will not be plunged back into civil war and for God’s peace to rule.

Southern Sudan is one of the least developed areas in the world. The country to this day does not have a single paved road connecting it’s major cities. They lack almost all basic necessities, like clean water and medical care. At least 1 million people are still without the gospel.

Pray that Ends Of The Earth will be able to continue to provide:

• The unreached tribes with the message of salvation and see more tribal churches planted.
• Medical care for those who will die without it.
• Schools for tribes that are cut off from the world do to their primitive location.

Sudan functions already like two nations – a richer, Arabic-speaking, Muslim North and a poorer South devastated by years of conflict and neglect.

Most of Africa’s country borders that are recognized today were drawn by the European powers who divided the continent in the 1880s in the “scramble for Africa.”

They cut through ethnic groups, dividing peoples and even families. People groups who had differences of language and religion were forced together.
