"Look with pity Lord on the children of South Sudan who live with injustice, fear, disease, hunger and death as their constant companions. Have mercy upon them and strengthen them in this time of travail. Lord, strengthen the hands of all those who work tirelessly to assist those in need. Protect all aid workers from peril. Give us the strength and resources to heal those who are broken in body and spirit. Above all, allow peace to return to this beleaguered young nation. Grant all this Father for the love of your Son who for our sake himself became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord."
- Perry M. Mansfield | National Director, World Vision South Sudan
“Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for the South Sudanese political leaders that they will put the welfare of their people, especially the welfare of the most vulnerable members of society (orphans, widows and elderly) first, instead of their own personal interests. We pray for the church to be a true witness of the sacrificial love of our Lord Jesus Christ at this critical time in our nation’s history. We pray for your healing power upon all South Sudanese communities who have been affected by unimaginable trauma due to terrible atrocities committed against them or their loved ones. We pray that you touch the hearts of all South Sudanese to choose forgiveness instead of revenge, reconciliation instead of conflict and peace instead of war.”
- The Most Rev Moses Deng Bol | Archbishop of Northern Bhar El Ghazal Internal Province and Bishop of the Diocese of Wau, South Sudan
