South Sudanese Pastor Released
KHARTOUM, SUDAN (October 26, 2002) - Rev. Gabriel Kaek, a South Sudanese Covenant
pastor arrested last week at the Ethiopian/Sudanese border, has been
released, Covenant News Service has learned.
Kaek was arrested last Tuesday by a Muslim security force of Sudan in the
military area called Sirea near the border of Sudan and Ethiopia. He was
transferred to the Doka province on Thursday. Kaek was traveling to
Ethiopia to meet with other Covenant leaders from South Sudan and Ethiopia.
The border area in southeast Sudan has been a prominent Covenant ministry
site and has been an effective means for many to receive food and supplies.

and has approximately 55,000 people attending worship.
