~ African Proverb
Today, I went to the first Catholic Underground at Holy Spirit Catholic Church (http://www.gofishoutreach.com/uploads/Catholic_UG_4x6final.pdf). There was a man from CRS (Catholic Relief Services) promoting awareness about the election in Sudan tomorrow. The election is to decide if Sudan will remain one nation or if it will be split into Northern Sudan and Southern Sudan. After being in Ethiopia for their last presidential election and Kenya's election for the constitution referendum, I know that election time can cause violence, imprisonment, or worse. Thankfully for the experiences in both Ethiopia and Kenya, they were peaceful (for the most part). However, this was made possible by the presence of the United Nations, the European Union, and nationals working for peace in those nations. We are so incredibly blessed to live in a country that protects us from being killed if we speak out against our government. So many people, I could probably say most, are not. Please pray for peace in Sudan.
