Latest Prayer Update from Concordis (February 2026)
1. Meetings with different government ministries / ministers, alongside my South Sudanese colleague, Stephen. The politics here are ‘complicated’ and it’ll be important we strike the right note with them – keeping them on side, stopping them being suspicious of us, whilst also not being too fawning or sycophantic. Praying we hit that delicate balance.
2. Then we’ve a launch workshop with existing and new members of the Concordis staff team. There’ll be training and project planning, and we pray that the team gels well and leaves the workshop fully equipped and motivated to make a strong start to the next stage of the work here and in Sudan. They put themselves on the line doing this work, and it’s important they’re well supported.
3. Next week I travel home via 3 days in Cairo to meet some ambassadors / embassies supposedly posted in Sudan, but currently exiled there from Khartoum by the war. There’s a lot of good stuff they could be doing, and I pray I can get through their general (and understandable) sense of depression, bordering on apathy, and can present them with a workable vision that they can get behind.
