4月23日代禱事項：Darfur 的大屠殺
4月23日代禱事項：Darfur 的大屠殺
請為蘇丹的人民代禱。在經過多年的內戰後，蘇丹交戰雙方暫處於和平狀況，但在反政府游激隊控制的南方，雖然在和平時期，但政府仍多方攔阻國際救援組織對當地數以百萬計災民的援助。求神保守那些處於死亡邊沿的災民，使他 / 她們能早日得到援助，脫離饑餓的危難。
World Evangelical Alliance 剛在 24/4 發表一個公開呼籲，要求停止大規模屠殺在Darfur, Suden繼續發生，詳情如下：

For Immediate Release
World Evangelical Alliance International Director Calls for End to Genocide in Darfur
Geoff Tunnicliffe, the International Director of the World Evangelical Alliance, is among dozens of high-profile speakers slated to address the deteriorating situation in Darfur, Sudan, during the first national Save Darfur rally in Washington D.C. this Saturday.
Tens of thousands of concerned citizens are expected to join the April 29th rally outside of the Capitol to make a joint call on the U.S. government to “End the violence, build the peace, and Save Darfur NOW.”
For almost four years, government-backed militias have terrorized the Western region of Sudan, slaughtering hundreds of thousands and forcing millions more to flee the country.
Despite strong statements from leaders in the U.S. and the UN, millions of people continue to suffer and die in Darfur. Organizers of the Save Darfur rally hope to bring immediate change to this situation by placing public pressure on the White House and Congress.
“The Bible makes it very clear we must take a stand with those who are voiceless and powerless,” said Geoff Tunnicliffe. “Today we stand with the Darfur people and speak out loudly against the outrageous atrocities to which they are being subjected.”
The political, civic, and religious speakers will also work to mobilize their constituency for action.
“As Evangelical Christians we are committed to the Authority of the Bible,” said Tunnicliffe. “We call upon the 420 million evangelicals Christians in the world to join with others in responding to the Biblical exhortation of Proverbs 31:8-9: Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
In making his call, Geoff will be standing alongside Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel, U.S. Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Frank Wolf, Donald M. Payne, and Michael E. Capuano, President of the Southern Baptist Convention Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission Dr. Richard Land, and U.S. Olympic Team speed skater Joey Cheek.
