Proclaiming the Gospel through suffering

Take 12 minutes to hear first–hand from Sudan

“What happens when people have to move home in a hurry?” Bishop Hassan Osman, who is Assistant Bishop of Kadugli and Nuba Mountains in the Episcopal Church of Sudan, answers this and many other questions about the often–forgotten conflict in his region of the country in this Mission Matters podcast.

The Nuba Mountain region is a land that is rich in mineral resources and diversity of people groups. Since the early 1980s, this area has been volatile – air bombardments and land offensives continue as the Sudanese Government tries to control the region. It is here that Bishop Hassan chooses to stay.

His ministry, shared in this 12–minute interview, is characterised by being present with the people of the Nuba Mountains, working towards peace as he tries to mitigate the impact of conflict on the communities he serves.
