Independence Day!

So, this past Monday we in America celebrated one of the most popular holidays in our country: Independence day. Many watched fireworks, shot fireworks, sang songs, cooked great food, and spent time with family and friends to celebrate an important part of our nation's history, when we gained freedom from those who ruled over us. This freedom, as we know, came with much struggle. Soldiers fought, civilians gave resources and supplies, and people came together to achieve something that would one day be looked upon as remarkable.


On July 9th, South Sudan will be granted their independence. This achievement has not been without its share of war and sacrifice. The people of South Sudan now have the chance to come together and make something remarkable with what that have striven for. July 9th is this Saturday! That's only 4 days away!! Let's pray that the birth of this new nation is peaceful and glorifying to our Lord. Spread the word, get others praying. Have an independence day party for South Sudan and stay updated with what is happening through the BBC website including their Special Report Page that is solely reporting on the birth of the new South Sudan, and the Sudan Tribune.

Write a comment about what you are doing to raise awareness and get people praying for those in South Sudan, the world's soon-to-be newest nation! This will not be an easy road for these people. Do not make them walk through this alone.

Peace...
