Two Sudanese Pastors Face Death for 'Offending Islam'...

Two South Sudanese pastors possibly facing execution in Sudan said they are not afraid to die. They've been charged with "inciting organized groups" and "offending Islamic beliefs." Pastors Yat Michael and David Yein spoke with Sr. International Correspondent George Thomas by phone from their Khartoum jail cell. Michael said he has suffered psychological intimidation and hasn't talked to his family for two months. He was accused of spying when he was arrested last January. "When they interviewed me, they asked me why I'm preaching here. I say, 'I am preaching because this is my call. I am a pastor. I must speak the Word of God,'" Michael told Thomas. "They say 'No, you don't need to preach the Word of God with a hidden agenda,'" he recalled. "I said, 'No, I don't have any hidden agenda.' They accused me because I'm a spy here. They say like that." Yein said he's not afraid because God chose him to suffer. He wants Christians to pray that their imprisonment will be for God's glory, and that both pastors will be at peace with those who oppose them. Click here to hear more from the imprisoned pastors.
