Right now, one of the worst atrocities in the world is unfolding in the Nuba Mountain region of Sudan. The genocide and crimes against humanity that we witnessed in Darfur are still being played being out against the people of Northern Sudan. It is the same people group being persecuted, the same government regime and the same tactics being used.
The Persecution Project Foundation has visited the Nuba Mountains, S. Blue Nile Region, and the Abyei region this year. What they learned and the stories he recorded launched an Emergency Hearing in Washington. But the support of the Western Church is still lacking and desperately needed. They’ve launched a campaign called Save the Nuba and are asking for our help.
This truly is the worst regime and the worst crime against humanity happening anywhere else in the world.
We can choose to do one of three things with this knowledge:
1.)Â Ignorance
2.)Â Apathy
3.)Â Action
Choosing action is not always easy when we lack a personal connection to the situation. Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel put faces to the Holocaust and helped show us the depth of our loss and depravity.
Someday we’re going to encounter knowledge of the situation again—whether it’s through a movie or a meeting a survivor. On that day, let’s be so glad that we chose action.
Here are three steps you can take right now:
1.) Visit www.savethenuba.com and educate yourself about the situation. Tell others what you’ve learned.
2.) Help the Persecution Project Foundation by volunteering to “Get Active” for the persecuted.
3.) Help spread awareness of the Nuba plight by reposting one of these free blog posts on your blog or website.
Please leave a comment if you decide to act and let us what you plan to do.

Thanks Jess. If it wasn’t for you, i never would have even heard of their plight, most likely. We plan on giving part of our tithe to the Nuba cause this month. You ARE making a difference. Keep pronouncing the truth, those with ears to hear are listening!
