Christians of the Catholic and Sudanese Church of Christ gathered to pray for peace in Karga area of Heiban County in Nuba Mountains.
The monthly prayer initiative that started in 2014, aims to encourage the people of God to be active and strong in faith, Radio Voice of Peace reported.
Philip Saied Shamila, one of the participants, said they pray for peace and daily problems that occur in communities of the region.
He noted that many difficulties were facing them that need God’s intervention.
Saied explained that they pray for the ongoing economic difficulties, better rainfall in order to produce more food and good atmosphere in Nuba Mountains.
The participant said they are also praying to celebrate Christmas in peace.
Prayers for peace are uncommon in the region although the initiative faces many challenges.
