Egyptian DTS Team in Sudan

A Discipleship Training School (DTS) team from Egypt was on outreach in Sudan with a team from a local Sudanese church. While traveling after showing the Jesus film April 26th they were ambushed by rebels. Three Sudanese and one Egyptian were killed. The Egyptian who died was in Sudan with another organization, while the three Sudanese were from a local church. At least three others were wounded, but seem to be doing well this morning.
One of the wounded was a YWAM staff member from Egypt and one was a YWAM student from Egypt. Both are doing well physically. They are working hard to arrange debriefing and counseling for all who were involved. Pray for the families and friends of those who were killed and injured. This is obviously a time of tremendous grief and shock for them.
Many rumors and pieces of information are being passed around. We want the truth to be shared in the best way possible. Pray that God will help those involved work through the trauma. Pray for all paperwork and arrangements that need to be made to send the body of the Egyptian who died back home.
