Merry Christmas and prosperous New year.
I'm Bishop Peter Garang Akuei, The Episcopal Diocese of Nyamlel, Anglican Communion. Northern Bahr Ghazal internal province. we're happy to celebrate the birth of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and we hope this season brings changes to our family and nation. we pray for peace and hope in our country.
we pray that the government of South Sudan and those holdout groups plus those who 're detained in the prison and those detained at home should be released and then the discussion should be encouraged, so that we talk and iron all the grievances so that we live in peace as brothers and sisters.
we call upon the government of Northern Bahr Ghazal state in the counties and all other counties near to this state to practice peace, let's practice peace with our neighbours states like Warrap, Western Bahr Ghazal state and Abyei administrative area and even our brothers from the North who are staying with us here. we pray for all the government in Juba so that our president Gen Salva Kiir bring the lasting peace to this country, the country that he served and worked tirelessly to manage to bring us upto this location.
we pray for the New Sudan to have a new vision so that the president brings us to the light and whatever, we shared let the Lord be within. we pray for his health, we pray for the wisdom, we pray for the decision he makes from time to time. may the Lord bless South Sudan.
We pray for our primate and all the Bishops who are serving the Lord in the different Dioceses, we pray for our Archbishop of Northern Bahr Ghazal internal province and we pray for our state.
May the peace of God be upon us all in the name of the father of the son and Holy spirit. Amen.
