Local partner Habeeb Kamal seeks to share the gospel with unreached people groups in Egypt, South Sudan and Sudan, including preaching, teaching and discipling believers, and sharing the gospel with people he meets on a day-to-day basis. Pray for God to open up opportunities for Habeeb to share Jesus with people.

In the Horn of Africa four consecutive rainy seasons have failed, causing the worst drought in 40 years and threatening the lives of more than 23 million people in countries like Somalia, South Sudan and Kenya. This hunger crisis is compounded by escalating food costs caused by the conflict in Ukraine. It is estimated that one person is dying every 48 seconds from hunger across the Horn of Africa.
