Voices of Christ the King Church members have played a part in shaping U.S. foreign policy toward Sudan. Millions of advocates like us across the country have made our government play an active role in pushing for peace in Sudan. We must continue to work for peace. Find out more about how you can participate in making sure that policymakers know we care about the people of Sudan.
