South Sudan | August 23, 2025
From June 10 to August 18, 2025, the South Sudan Council of Churches (SSCC), in collaboration with Christ Ambassadors for Peace and Intercessors for South Sudan, led a 70-day prayer and fasting journey. This season marked 70 years since the Torit conflict of 1955, a pivotal event in the nation’s history.
Theme:
“Fulfill Your good promises, O Lord!”
(Jeremiah 29:10–11)
Seven Spheres of Prayer:
Throughout these 70 days, churches and believers interceded across seven vital areas of national life:
- Family – for restoration, unity, and protection.
- Church – for revival, holiness, and witness.
- Governance – for justice, peace, and servant leadership.
- Economy – for provision, stewardship, and sustainability.
- Education – for wisdom, truth, and opportunity for all.
- Media – for truth-telling, reconciliation, and nation-building.
- Health – for healing, strength, and care for the vulnerable.
Conclusion: National Day of Prayer (August 23, 2025)
Today, August 23, the journey culminates with a National Day of Prayer, bringing together all member churches of the SSCC and believers across denominations.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
