News from Southern Sudan

Earlier this year, the people of southern Sudan voted to secede from the north and became it's own sovereign nation.  Although many aid agencies feared violence, the vote was a peaceful process.  The new country will become the Republic of South Sudan on July 9, 2011.  Please pray for a peaceful transition and for all the people of North and South Sudan.
