A Close Call

A Close Call

Working in Southern Sudan is not easy. God has blessed PPF with so much success through the years that it’s easy to forget that it doesn’t take much for things to quickly go very, very wrong.

Attack in Sudan Kills Pastor, Destroys PPF-Supported Church

Persecution Project Foundation was contacted in early January by Pastor Francis Ayul of Faith Evangelical Baptist Association of Churches (FEBAC), one of the pastors we support in the Upper Nile region of South Sudan.
