“We are so sorry that things in Sudan go to the worst. We lost five Christian families and forty-five Muslim families in Kutum. There are unknown numbers that are wounded. Since Saturday up today, they are still collecting wounded people.
Fatima, who gave believers her home to pray in had her house burned to ashes. Her two daughters and husband were killed by Militias. Fatima’s husband’s shop was burned into ashes. She is not happy but she surprised all Muslims there. Muslims came and told her that ‘we told you to believe in Allah and that he would protect you.’ But what she said was, “My God himself gave his own son to save mankind. What about me, a human being, whom death is an obligation? I am like the rest of the people who lost their family members. You people are supposed to comfort me instead of blaming me. But I believe it’s our enemy who blinds you, and you are only able to work for him.”
This was a big issue for Muslims. People divided some of them who said she was right. Others said she is not supposed to defend even the big issue. But she said, “ If you knew Jesus, you would act like a guilty person in the court. But unfortunately, the Devil is not happy with you. “One of the relatives was not happy with what she was saying, and he struck her, and she is also among the dead. Dear all, please pray for her two surviving children.
Among the five families survived were Fatima’s two other children and Radhid, whose kids and wife were also dead.
Testimony from a leader in Jebel Marra, Darfur
CRM has helped many believers evacuate to Jebel Marra. The below testimony shows how God used CRM’s donation of Bibles to believers in Jebel Marra to be ready to receive fellow believers.
“My fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord, this year has been a wonderful year for us in Jabal Marra. We received our Bibles. We have received many lost souls, even those who were fighting us. We enjoyed the time together reading the word of God. We prayed together and fasted to the Lord to see us. He has done many miracles through CRM. We had our Bibles. We have encouragement from different people. It was a blessing for us to see that. We understand what is happening in Sudan is for the good of believers. Though it’s something to be grieved. But God will bring the best out of this. Please pray for our situation. Things have dramatically changed. The sack of sugar was 30 thousand pounds, and today is 1500,00 pounds. The growth is that Muslims are turning to Jesus Christ. Pray that we can meet our daily expenses; God will bring peace in Sudan.”
