Description: The Masalit are a Nilo-Saharan people living in Western Sudan and Chad. A century ago they established their own nation-state called Dar Masalit, which is now a province of Sudan in the Darfur region.
Prayer Points:
• In 2003 the Masalit joined with the Fur and the Zaghawa peoples to denounce the Sudanese government's failure to protect them from Arab raiders. In response they were brutally attacked and over 1 million people have been displaced. Pray for God's healing to come to this land and for a questioning of the Islamic ideology that leads to this violence.
• Many compassionate ministries have begun work among the Masalit following the attack on their homeland, resulting in some initial response to the gospel. Pray for God's blessing on these new believers and for continued open doors to reach the Masalit people.
• Severe drought in Darfur over the last 30 years has devastated the livelihood of the Masalit. Pray for creative long-term solutions that can be administered by the emerging Masalit church as a community in Christ.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, raise up a permanent light among the Masalit through your people working together to bring the hope of the gospel, both in this life and the one to come.
Every year 5,000 Masalit die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
