The unreached Baggara tribes are virtually all Muslim and live in the plains of Sudan’s Darfur region, North Kordofan, and South Kordofan provinces.  The numerous Baggara tribes of northern Sudan share many cultural characteristics and claim a common ancestry with the Bederia, also called the Bideryia.  Their name comes from the Arabic word bagar, which means “cow,” and refers to the various Arab tribes in Sudan (and surrounding nations) which herd cattle.

 

Ask God to raise prayer teams to begin breaking up the soil of the Baggara through worship and intercession.

Pray that the Christians living in Northern Sudan will be stirred with vision for outreach and a genuine burden to reach out to the Baggara tribes.

Ask God to reveal Himself to the Baggara through dreams and visions.

Ask the Lord to raise strong local churches among the Baggara.

 

THE GREAT PHYSICIAN NOW IS NEAR

 

The Great Physician now is near,

The sympathizing Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!

 

Sweetest note in seraph song;

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Sweetest carol ever sung:

Jesus, blessed Jesus!

 

Your many sins are all forgiv’n,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,

Redemption wrought by Jesus.

 

All glory to the dying Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

I love the blessed Savior’s name,

I love the name of Jesus.

 

 

His name dispels my guilt and fear,

No other name but Jesus;

Oh, how my soul delights to hear

The precious name of Jesus!
