Johnson Ruach, of CRADA (Christian Relief and Development Agency) sent us this picture from Akobo. Johnson shared: "People waiting for food distribution ṭhe ratio is always one bag per 10 people. its very serious situation"
In the aftermath of the recent tragedy in Akobo (approx. 200 killed in one attack recently) some members of the Sudan Communion Prayer Group have felt led to respond by gathering t-shirts, yard goods (fabric), thread, sewing needles and fishing line, hooks and nets as these were the needs expressed by CRADA. If you have any of these items that you are willing to donate, please bring them to Christ Church or see Martha Holden, Sara Baker or Deborah Jerard. Sara can be emailed at saracoyote@gmail.com for more information. Due to the climate in Sudan, it is preferable that all clothing and fabric be 100% cotton. If you feel led to contribute financially, funds will first go to shipping costs and the remainder will be spent on purchasing the requested items.
In addition to possibly donating items, the Sudan Communion group asks for you to consider praying for the Sudanese people. Our Collect asks us to pray for the "Sudanese, in the land of their birth and spread among the nations". If you feel led to join us in prayer, please join us at 9am on August 31st in the Geer Garden. If the weather does not cooperate, we will meet in the meditation room.
