Israel United in Christ (IUIC) has called for peace, spiritual upliftment, and unity among the people of South Sudan as the nation continues to face poverty, displacement, and ongoing social challenges.
The New York-based Christian organization, in an interview
with The Radio Community (TRC) on Thursday, emphasized the importance of hope
and resilience during difficult times.
“The current situation that they are going through is
endurable, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel,” said Gabriel Irael,
organization representative.
South Sudan prepares for its first-ever elections on 22
December this year, but military confrontations between government forces and
opposition groups continue across the country, particularly in Jonglei, Unity,
Upper Nile, and Eastern Equatoria states.
Irael stressed that unity and a commitment to nonviolence
are essential for stability and progress.
“There is a God looking over them right now who will deliver
them from the current situation,” he added.
The organization operates
more than 44 centers across the United States, as well as international centers
in Africa, Europe, Central and South America, and the West Indies.
In Africa, it maintains sanctuaries and learning centers in
countries including Ghana, Malawi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its
mission is to empower and uplift marginalized communities by providing
spiritual guidance while teaching individuals about their true nationality and
heritage.
