Everything Sad is Coming Untrue

"From the war torn city streets
To the trash the slum dogs eat
It seems so hard to believe
And meaningless to pray..."

As we walk through the streets of Mundri, it is easy to see brokenness. It's easy to give up and live in a state of hopelessness. If that was the end of the verse, it would be a pretty sad song.

As we welcomed the WEPC team to Mundri, they walked through the streets, the market, and had conversations with young men on the football pitch. At first glance, it's hard to have hope for development with so little infrastructure in place and so much uncertainty in Sudan. It's hard to have hope when the youth are disillusioned with the church and their community leaders. There have been times when I have felt it might be meaningless to pray, when I can't see any glimpses of hope, when I don't see how God could even start to work in a situation. Our eyes can become clouded by sin.


It isn't always easy to see the foretastes of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Mundri. However, we can boldly share the certain hope we have in Christ! God is at work in Mundri!

The WEPC team was challenged to look for places that the Kingdom is advancing in Mundri. As they prayed and spent time with our Sudanese friends, they saw God at work. If you attend WEPC in Richmond, VA, I hope you have an opportunity to hear from the team in their own words.

I pray that you would all see God at work in your own communities and share this certain hope because everything sad IS coming untrue.

"... But in Rwanda's killing fields
Forgiveness blooms and heals
And the power of love reveals
The Kingdom come today
Everything sad is coming untrue."
