    Lent & Beyond has posted a [url=http://anglicanprayer.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/sudan-collection/]collection[/url] of over 70 prayers for Sudan. The post is “sticky” and will remain at the top of the front page for a while. Please visit regularly. There are plenty of prayers to keep it from feeling repetitious.
    If you mount a serious prayer effort, remember to put on the armor of God!
