Sudan: A graduation ceremony with a difference!

Sudan is one of the toughest places in the world to be a Christian. But still Christians are determined to follow the Lord. This video shows a graduation ceremony for new 18 new Pastors from a local Bible college in Sudan.

For Christians in Sudan, there are not many occasions for celebrating. But this is a joyous occasion - the graduation ceremony for new pastors who will serve persecuted Christians.

Part of the work of Open Doors in Sudan is to assist local Bible colleges in training evangelists and missionaries. Recently in the Nuba mountains, 18 students graduated from one of these schools in a special ceremony. After three years of hard study these men were ready to be sent out to take the gospel to their communities. Thanks to your support, Open Doors was able to provide each graduate with a gift: a bicycle to aid them in their ministry as they travel long distances to serve the people around them.

Sudan is number 4 on the Open Doors World Watch List of countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution.
