Finally a new nation has been born in the heart of Africa. Most of the photos and news reports from this part of Africa (Cush) have always centered on wars, famine, plagues and cries for justice as the world watched a nation bathed in religious intolerance descend into anarchy.

Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon are among international dignitaries attending celebrations in the capital, Juba.
Sudan earlier became the first state to officially recognise its new neighbour.

Now we can go and freely preach the gospel in South Sudan. We can tell them of God’s grace through Christ Jesus. Hey, if God has opened up this door, what do you think will happen if we begin to pray for North Korea?
In the words of John Knox, “Oh God give me [North Korea] or I die!”
