By Brad Phillips Walking the corridors of Mother of Mercy Hospital was an incredibly humbling experience. At the height of the dry season, when respiratory and malaria cases are at their lowest, the hospital was still busy with more than 400 patients. It is the only hospital in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, which is [...]
Since May, 2011, a campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has been waged against the people of the Nuba Mountains of Sudan by the terrorist-controlled government in Khartoum. Towards the close of 2012, PPF and senior staff of ministry partner The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) visited the embattled Nuba Mountains of Sudan. During the [...]
By Brad Phillips Many thanks to everyone who prayed for safety during the recent elections in Kenya. With few exceptions, the elections were largely peaceful. There are charges of vote-rigging by one of the candidates, and an impending court decision on the matter, but so far no violence associated with this issue. Unfortunately, the elections [...]
By Brad Phillips I hate statistics with a passion. This is especially the case in measuring suffering. Take Sudan for instance. A multi-generational war killing more than 3 million, displacing millions more, etc. Millions illiterate. Millions without access to clean water. Millions needing anti-malarial drugs.

By Brad Phillips I make my home in Kenya, which prides itself as one of Africa’s most stable democracies. Unfortunately, we are still in Africa, which also means that elections tend to be infrequent and marked by fraud and violence. Kenya is no exception. In 2007, the world was shocked as this relatively calm country [...]
By Matt Chancey The year 2013 marks the beginning of the 16th year PPF has been involved in ministry in Africa. We have seen a lot of changes, and a lot of the same old problems lingering on. We have met wonderful people, and also our fair share of villains and con-men. Our faithful ministry [...]
By Brad Phillips My Thanksgiving holiday was celebrated rather quickly here in Nairobi with my family because within a few days I was headed back up into Sudan. Destination: The war-torn Nuba mountain region. This area has been under siege since the SAF forces and NCP militants began carrying out Bashir’s instruction to “clean up [...]

Editor’s Note: With the 2012 elections behind us, it is important that pressure be placed on the Obama administration to fulfill promises made with regard to the Sudan crisis more than four years ago prior to the 2008 election. The President has done next to nothing to seriously address the ongoing humanitarian crisis and genocide [...]
