It\u2019s not even extreme poverty. Much of South Sudan is absolute poverty. It\u2019s a place where agencies, like World Relief, working with local churches and local communities, need peace so that they can begin to see change. That takes a long time.\u201d When violence continues, all external support is removed from South Sudan, communities suffer greatly. Golden continued, \u201cIt means that supplementary feeding that we\u2019ve been providing for the most malnourished is suspended. And it could, in effect, lead to, especially children, being more vulnerable and even potentially dying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Please continue praying for this situation in South Sudan, particularly for peace between the two countries. Another of CWR\u2019s partners, the Covenant Church of South Sudan, tells us that food shortages have started to emerge in areas of South Sudan that border North Sudan, as North Sudan has blocked the transportation of food to the South.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to praying, please consider giving to one of our projects in South Sudan: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/relief\/projects\/cd\/sudan-hope-for-widows\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hope for Widows<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/relief\/projects\/cd\/sudan-vulnerable-children\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vulnerable Children<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/cwr?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=2943&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continued violence and political unrest between Sudan and South Sudan leave many fearing the potential collapse of South Sudan\u2019s economy and infrastructure.
