Aid Groups Being Increasingly Attacked in Darfur

See here.

World Vision, the main organization mentioned in the linked item above, does great work. For several years, our church has sponsored a Zimbabwean girl through World Vision. Our sponsorship dollars, pooled with those of other sponsoring individuals and churches, ensure that the people of Sinanzinkosi's village, get clean drinking water, a school, seeds and agricultural advice, material aid, and the opportunity to know Christ. World Vision does great work, work the government-sponsored terrorists and others in Sudan obviously want to thwart.

The crisis of Darfur and the suffering of its people go on and on. Please pray for an end to the genocide there, as well as for protection for all who are striving to relieve the people of Darfur.

Is there some way that special aid groups can provide support for those aid groups increasingly attacked? Just trying to think out of the box here.

Don't you think that some form of force is needed in Darfur to protect the women and children and aid workers?

Dar:
The World Vision site might have some ideas on ways you can support them and other aid groups there.

Joe:
I don't personally know the answer to that question. Whatever the appropriate solution, doing nothing--including not praying--won't end the genocide in Darfur.

Thanks for your comments.
